I quickly turned a pen this afternoon from hard acacia (or in Afrikaans Doringhout), but was shocked when I took it of the mandrel. The damn bottom barrel was turned off center. Not Out of Round though; I checked it on a hole stencil -its round alright but the brass tube is to the one side making the wood thinner on the side. Went back out to my lathe to check the mandrel; it doesnt look bent.
I dont have a clock gauge to check it, any ideas on how to check or how to fix...? Or should I just get a new one? Its a MT2:question:
