made parts, met a turner

[Paul in OKC]

Got a call from Michael Russell (RustySplinters) a week or so ago about some mandrels. He came over today and he spent some time listening to me ramble as I worked :bulgy-eyes:. Enjoyed meeting another turner from the group. My trade-off is to go to his shop one day and watch him make a kitless pen! Made a couple of small mandrels to hold in his collet chuck for a kitless pencil project. And Roy, I used the mini lathe for something constructive........finally! Fun morning.

Thanks Paul! Can't wait to finish this project (it's a click pen, not pencil but that might come someday!) It was cool getting to explore your shop!

Here's proof of his working on the mini lathe!
