Not looking for free, but reasonable priced surplus to outfit our nephew for pen turning--his mom is getting him the HF 10" lathe for a combination Eagle Scout/HS Graduation gift. I was just going to buy him a round carbide from John Austin then find a decent HSS skew--but my wife suggested I check here first.
If you have any of the following as extras (or got disenchanted, or upgraded), it would stretch what we can do to help him get started and ease your clutter at the same time:
Basic HSS Tool Set or individual tools, especially spindle gouge & skew--FOUND, Thanks!!
Round and/or Square Carbide tool--FOUND--Thanks!!
MT2 Drill chuck (he won't have access to a drill press)
Pen drilling chuck or suitable chuck with pen jaws--considering one
Pen Mandrel--FOUND--Thanks!!
Common bushings (Sierra, 7mm, Cigar, etc--i've got kits & blanks to get him started)--Found--Thanks!!
Common (to pen turning) drill bits (7mm, 10mm, 27/64")
When his mom asked about the lathe, i started thinking about how that's just kind of the beginning--it's the stuff above that makes the machine usable. His Eagle ceremony is on 4-22, so we're driving over that day--if we can make something happen prior, that would be great.
Check your shelves and make me an offer if you've got something to part with. Your time is appreciated!!
Thanks,
earl
