TowMater came by the house and gave me a 2 hour lesson on turning pens. He's a great instructor. He brought along 3 acrylic blanks (one for each of my kids) for me to learn on. I haven't turned ANYTHING in 26 years.
This is FUN! He instructed me on the first one, letting me watch as he turned half of it and then handed me the tool and let me do my worst. I trust I didn't miss the mark by much...:redface: After he left, I turned the second in about an hour and the third took about 20 minutes.
I'm hooked and already am thinking about the next ones...hmmm...
Oh, ask him to post a pic of the American Beauty he did on my lathe... It is gorgeous!
THANKS 'MATER!!
