Hi Derek,

Thats cool Stirlo, just send me all ya pen kits ... I'll do em fer ya:D

Quite bold design there Amos .. but does go well with the Nickel Kit I must say.

I do like the silver kits with the darker timber though:)

hehehe ..

You shoulda called yaself bat woman or something .. you're always awake! . .

:) :)

Thanks all ... pretty much all the pieces already had the hole drilled in em .. so it was just a matter of squaring em up with a bit of 240g .. and sliding em down on a tube with a wee bit of CA .....

Wheres the clip Toni ?

Thanks Brian

Ahuh!

Thanks Brian .. that is the answer I was looking for.:)

So it is the chuck thats crap (it is a cheapy:o ) and now very happy Im gonna be choosing the better one.

Having said that,...

Gotcha Rowan .. but hoping I wasnt gonna have to add a "bit" to the lathe .. should be right just the way it is.

However ... those who have the nova and vic chucks ... question for you.

Does...

Its binding on the thread, not the collar, simply because there is no more thread to bite into with the Jet . .(sorry, trying v hard to explain here)

Its different on the MC due to the thread...

sorry .. both are 1" x 10 TPI . .

Here here!:D

The spin offs arnt that much bloody cheaper either .. most are around the 100 buck mark, with the Nova G3 at only $145 (midi chuck) which is what Im gonna get . .and should have...

Please see attached pics . .

The crappy chuck I have screws right up to the head stock on the MC because the thread is higher than the spindle (does that make sense?):rolleyes:

However, it...

If we are going to do a 'person' theme, would it not be a wee bit simpler to pick someone that had some distinguishing feature? ie .. ..... Dolly Parton :p :p

Just a thought:D

Thou shalt have my blessing:D

D'ya think we dont know that?

Tell the people who buy our pens for good money, not us dude.:D :D :D

Plus, Id like to see you get $20 - $200 for a Bic:p :p :p :p

Gorgeous!

I love the darker colours:)

Not that big .. practically a pocket/purse pen really.

Nicely done mate ...

Thats about as good as the kits come arnt they? ... The baron is on par with the emperor if memory serves me right.

V V noice;)

Ive been accumulating a small dish full of all those little offcuts from the drilled blanks :) and today .. thought what the fluffy duck and stick em all together . .:rolleyes:



If I recall...

There there . . . we all question our faith from time to time;)

And ya know that a bandsaw box just dont cutt it! ...

Turning pens are like smoking cigarettes ... ya just gotta turn one,...

Im not too sure what they did with the prices ... I had to work:( on Saturday when the fete was on, so didnt get to instruct re prices etc.

All were slim jims bar one which was a euro style in...

. . . what they said . . .

Nicely done dudette:D

I think a "tute" is in order here:D

Thanks 'girls' ;)

Would have liked an extra 5-10 bucks a pen, but its the thought that counts:)

Howdy all . .

The four pens I donated to the local school for their fund raising fete has pulled in $100. So, not too uhappy about that:)

Hey, I got about 20 here you can buy ... and ya dont even have to worry bout turnin' em ... they be all finished and boxed . .. LOL
