Bad Shop Day

[Darkshier]

Had one of those days I just shouldn't have set foot in the shop today. :frown: Set up to do a click pen and realized I didn't have bushings for it. Then I started setting up a segmented pen and ruined it. So I decided I want something to show for my day at the shop and turned a .30 bullet pen. Everything went well, caliper measurements were spot on.... I have no idea how this happened. :frown:

I've had days where I destroyed evrything I touched and nothing at the end of the day so dont feel alone! I'm very new to pen turning but I have seen this on my own pens when I press them just a little crooked, I think bends the tube egg shape. I've started using a bar clamp as a press and not had anymore problems.

There is no such thing as a bad day in the shop. That being said, all you can do is take it back apart and do it again. Some days everything works and somedays it doesn't.

When things start to go bad, remember to concentrate in the basics. Think through each step of the process before you start it, no matter how simple the step is.

Let's take the political crap somewhere else.
