[/IMG]I've been making pens using only a drill press.

(don't have a lathe and don't intend getting one)

Are there any other Members who do the same?

Cheers

I built custom fishing rods for seven years. There a few who bought a "lathe" from Grizzly, I believe to turn cork grips on a DP. I tried it but opted to spend a few bucks and get a used lathe. It can be done. Pictures?

My first few pens (late 1980's) were done with a drill press system I purchased from HUT.

My results were... Not so good - but it kept me interested enough to revisit the dark arts 25 years late.

Have Fun and welcome.
