Had some fun this weekend

[Chris88]

Turned this one with a blank I made. I did it without bushings. And it was hot in the garage.

Nice work.

Nice work. I'm impressed with the "No Bushings ". I've yet to try it and I know it would probably help the quality of my pens.

Very nice pen. FWIW, out A/C went out yesterday. Up to 84 in the house. Lower level was a bit cooler. Waiting to hear from the tech to get it fixed.
Story: my father worked with a fellow who had his heat pump go out in August...in the Deep South. Due to the factory backlog, took a month to get a new compressor.

Very Cool. (The Pen, not the garage). I'm just too darned impatient to try something without bushings - they make it so easy. - Dave

Lovely blank and pen.

Is the no bushings thing to add an additional challenge or is there another purpose?

Thanks turning between centers and using my calibers.

Lol I like turning bespoke pens and cast my blanks. I really enjoy it and yes you need patience. Ask me how I know.

No they were out of the bushings.
