Sunday's effort
Here's one pen I made today and 2 I managed to repair that I was not happy with months ago. They have been lying in a box until today.
As usual the photography is up to c###
001 and 002 are of a Traditional Foutain Pen set in Kingwood (some of the new timber I recently got from the USA. It's made for one of the bosses at work.
003 is a Polaris in PNG Rosewood. I took it apart and retrimmed the barrel and cap on a sanding disc setup on the lathe I have copied from Dai Sensai. Worked a treat in squaring up the ends.
004 is a JR Gent Rollerball in Tiger Myrtle that I wasn't happy with to begin with but pulled it apart and then reassembled it.

You mention squaring up I have found some tubes are not square cut in my last batch so I have been doing a final square up last.

The earplugs worked well Pariss. They are only very light foam and while they keep the dust out, the sound still flows through.
