Hey Gang,
I know that the highly skilled, attractive and articulate turners here NEVER make mistakes now, but what are some of the common mistakes that you see in pens, or that bedeviled you when you were first learning how. (I am assuming that not ALL of you were born with a skew in your hand and were nursed on CA)
I know that I have a devil of a time with Euros, I always want to overturn the top section, so that it doesn't have a nice flow into the finial. (My first couple actually had a little cove before it flaired out into the finial, Not an attractive shape).
What's the thing you look at when you look at a pen, the little things that you use to judge quality, craftsmanship, care?
Inquiring minds want to know,
Steve
