It has been over a year since I have been able to fire up the lathe and get the creative juices back flowing. But with work not open over the Thanksgiving weekend. Plus getting caught up on homework assignments from my AutoCAD classes, I took advantage of the time and turned some pens. I apologize early for the photos since I did these pics for a quick reference guide. Also, I didn't want to dig out the photo tent that's been buried for the past year. The first and third pics, I like the design of the hardware, but the bushings are just a touch bigger than the components, then when the coating is added, it makes it just that much of a larger diameter.

I don't have issues with your turning and finishing. You're doing well after a year off. I do think the kits leave a lot to be desired. That's a polite way of saying what a bunch of junk PSI is producing.
