first metal project...

[Russell Eaton]

Last Tuesday my metal lathe showed up. I have played with it for a few days, and finally decided an a project. It is a tool to remove the ca glue off of the finished Wall Street pen. It takes a piece of sandpaper on the base and the other end fit in a drill. I want to make a few more for some of my favorite kits that I use. It does not use a bushing for the shaft and it fit well. It was fun to make. Thanks for looking. Russell

Looking good Russel.

Great idea for a first project. When can we expect you to start marketing them?

Nice piece and useful, too. Did it take a good deal of time to get your new lathe set up?

The toughest part was the cleaning. I have been busy with some other things for a few days. This is for me to learn on. I am not planning on selling the things that I make.
