Great job with the pen and the name plate/pen holder. I'm going to copy that.
I've got a son who is a tanker and I thought I'd make one of those pens for him and another for his Command Sergeant Major. I hadn't thought about making it a desk set. That's a great idea! I'll get one of my scroll saw buddies to make it up for him and I'll do the pens.
I do a lot of Scroll work .When I started making pens I combined the two.When I sell a pen I ask is it for display and would they like a stand.Most of the stands are Initials or Military theme.
Nice job, both scrolling and turning.
PS: Did you get used to the on/off switch location? I am struggling with that still on my new Rikon.[/QUOTE.
Once and a while I still reach for the headstock .But I am getting use to it.Even though the70-100 is a good lathe .I should have bought this from the get go.I guess I was a little Leary about VS in general crapping out.But with this warranty I don't think I have a worry.
That's pretty cool! I have a buddy who is a tanker and thought about picking one of these up and trying it out but it looked very awkward to carry. I really like this desk stand setup idea! Nice job!
