Well... I decided to take a stab at an acrylic pen. So here is my first acrylic cigar. They are pretty easy to turn after you get the hang of it.
I found it better to peel than plane with my skew to reduce the build up of spooge or whatever you call this acrylic waste that tends to congregate at the end of the blank encircling the mandrel shaft. One nice long thread getting sucked back into the dust collector is a lot better then trying to free those continuous threads wrapped around the mandrel. LOL!
Sorry for the glare in the photos.
