I have a friend who is wanting to make pens. She is chomping at the bit and she will be learning on my lathe but wants her own. She owns an old Craftsman wood lathe from around 1950. The MT looks to be a 0. I think that pen making could be possible using a 0MT Dead Center for the head stock and a jamb chuck for the tail stock. Can anyone cast some light on the situation? I have attached a link to a picture of the model lathe. Hers is a little more worn.
