Hi .... me again
I just made my first European pen, and encountered all the things that those of you who turn these all the time are very familiar with... namely the tenon etc...
I am a recent convert to turning between centers, and wasn't real happy having to put the mandrel back on the lathe for the Euro pen... although the mandrel must have missed me and performed like it's supposed to [^]
I read between the lines of those that replied to my post in the Show Off Your Pens! forum and it seems like there are more than a few ways to skin this cat... that is, turning the European pen...
Can you share some of your techniques and tips please?.... I like the size and weight of this kit, and will be doing more for sure.
