Whether new or seasoned pen/wood turners we all ask these types of questions. Not sure can tell time or predict how many times same questions about (lathes, tools, accessories, finishing, wood, etc) get asked on message boards. Point is longer you go to and look at this or other message boards repetitive and recurring questions are a staple.
So please do not get offended when told;
That question has been asked so many times,
Someone directs you to library, previous postings, or other sites that may help! At least go to and read information available!
Do not be surprised when only told to figure it out!
Do not be surprised if people take it upon themselves to posting information that has nothing to do with the question you ask. That right sometimes threads on a message board take on a life of their own!
If a lively debate to the question ensues do not take it personally!
Bottom line please do read all responses to your questions! Might just find a recurring theme develop in those responses!
