This is my first thread, but I have reading this site for quite a while now. I have been turning pens for several years now. Since joining the site I have learned SO much! Reading the threads from all the "characters" is great. The collective knowledge in this site is beyond belief. As Butch once pointed out, by using the search tool you can answer so many questions. That is why I have not had to thread yet....there is almost too much to absorb.
I have made hundreds of pens, in many styles but I feel like a rank amatuer after reading your threads. Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge.
I do have a question....my neighbor, after I have made him several pens has given me a HF buffer. This thing operates at 3700 rpm....It has two different buffer heads on it. I purchased a router speed control to slow it down, which only takes all it's power away and was a waste of $50. Is this thing useful for anything? I am afraid it just takes off the ren wax I put on!
By the way, I have been a Professional Photogragher now for 32 years. I have always been impressed with the quality of photographs posted here. The lighting tents recommended for use are straight out of what I learned the Photo Institute I attended. ( I think---that was quite a few years ago) Good job to all!!!
