Finally took the Pen Wizard out of the box

[Notscottish]

I finished all of my Christmas pens a week early, so I decided to try my hand at figuring out the Beall Pen Wizard that has been sitting on my shelf for a year. Here are my initial results.

Very nice, is easy to use.

I like several of those.

Having never used a pen wizard, do you turn the pen to diameter and then add the details, or can you do both on the pen wizard machine?

I turn the pens to 1/16 of an inch of the bushings on the lathe, then move to the Pen Wizard for the surface carving, then back to the lathe to taper to the bushings.

That is awesome, I still need to fire up mine. I've been side tracked with commissioned orders.

Nicely done, Peter -- great looking barrels :biggrin:

Dang! Those are great pens. Glad you got it out and used it.
