Welcome from Okinawa. This is the best website for turning. Not just pens, we have men and women on here that turn all types of things. They are all willing to help and answer any question you may have.

Hi there,

Thanks for the warm welcome from all of you.

Here are a couple of pics of my "Pen Center".

I only have about 60 square feet of workspace in my cellar, so everything is in mini version.

I have combined bench saw, disk sander and lathe in one, works for me!

The unit is fitted with a foot controlled on / off switch, so if there is a problem I can instantly switch off.

The self centering vice and the pen press are also homemade.

I hope you like it.

Welcome Andy from a fellow Brit who flits between Somerset UK , The Black Forest and Ulm. That's a brilliant lathe combination, ( are you an Engineer by chance?) maybe you should sell those as well as turning Pens.
Cheers

Brian
