    they are to be called ergonomic or artisticly shaped

    Thanks guys. Would you be interested in my future videos at that speed?

    As for the bent pen.. oops I mean 'ergonomic or artisticly shaped' it is the fish eye lens on the camera not the best for the job but the only one I had on hand.

    Thanks Ben
    Regards Ben

    The only quibble I have is your application of Shellawax and the practise of virtually wrapping the cloth around it.

    The thing i noticed or rather didn't was that you didnt seem to change the lathe speed to sand, i may have missed it or you may have editted it out, not sure, you might find a better finish if this is the case.

    None the less top vid mate, i love watching others turn, i pick up bits to try, see things i otherwise wouldn't normally see, and when i cant turn nothing better than watching someone else =)
