Ok, so I've got the Jet 1220 lathe, the pen mandrel, and a couple pen kits. Some generous individuals have sent me some very nice pen blanks. I'll also be getting my carbide inserts from Bitshird soon hopefully, so I can start making those tools as well.
I'm going to pick up the HSS tool set from Harbor Freight this paycheck ($45).
What else should I focus on buying for this go round? I'm thinking barrel trimmer from yourdonspens($15).
I'm not sure where else I should I should get this round. I figure I'll spend an additional 40 to 50 bucks this paycheck. Plus I have a $10 coupon at woodcraft, so figure 60 total if I shop at Woodcraft.
I'm thinking 60 degree live center for 19.99 at Woodcraft. Not sure what else. Or maybe just some Navigator Kits?
Still need to buy:
Slow Speed sharpener-Woodcraft ($99.99)
Wolverine sharpening jigs or PSI clone ($124.99)
Lathe chuck -Grizzly H6265 + 1" pin jaws ($119.95)
Keyless 5/8 Drill chuck for Tailstock-Penturners Products ($39.00)
Dead Center-Penturners Products ($13.50)
Drill Bits ($$$)
CA glues-Mannie ($$)
I'm sure I'm missing some other things, I just can't think right this morning. Still recovering from the 3 day weekend! Once I have these things I'll be able to drill on the lathe and turn between centers.
I've got a power miter saw and a old fashioned back saw/miter box that I can use for trimming blanks for now.
Ok..so spend my money for me. Remember we're talking a max of probably $50 this paycheck.
