Pretty in pink...and others

[armyturner]

First - Satin Pearl Cigar in pink and white homebrew PR
Second - Teacher's pen in Walnut, Maple, and Paduk (I think)
Third - Chrome Slimline in Flame Box Elder and Paduk

Last is an example of what happens when the tripoli wheel decides to reach out and snatch the bottle stopper out of your hands and then proceed to body slam it into the bed of the lathe. There is another large chunk taken out of the other side as well. It WAS green and purple homebrew PR. I guess I will hold on better next time.

Sorry to hear about the stopper Jeremy; at least the pens came out well!

Good looking pens,Jeremy.
I like the cigar in your PR best;nice colors![]

 

[pete00]

[smoky10]

WOW that could have hurt. I like your home brew a lot. All the pens look good.

 

[reef12]

I like the Cigar pen and the others are good also.

Bummer about the stopper.

Not sure I would use pink on such a large pen, but it did come out nice! I have always liked the teacher's kit. I have one that looks very similar in my album. I feel you pain on the bottle stopper. In my shop, that sort of thing usually comes right before a barrage of foul language [!]

 

[NavyDiver]

OUCH! Good thing it didn't slam it into your forehead.[:0]

 

[jjenk02]

Can't you remount the bottle stopper on the lathe and turn different design on it[?]

 

[armyturner]

Gary - I sort of agree with you about the choice of kits, but I liked the way that the blank looked and didn't want to loose the look by turning it away. I guess it will just be for some lady with really large hands.

James - the stopper is cracked all of the way through. I am unsure if it would stay together if I tried turning it again.

 

[johncrane]

All are nice l like the teachers pen best' with the b/stopper all l can say is your lucky it didnt hit you.[]

 

[ilikewood]

I'm with James on this one....remount it on the lathe and "modify" it.

Pens look nice!

 

[broitblat]

The pens came out very well, and nice colors in the PR.

Pens look great.

With my bottle stoppers I keep them on the mandrel to give myself little more gripping room. I don't know how many times I have lost the little chunk of white diamond when putting it on the wheel.
