LITTLE CHANGE = GREAT RESULTS
One evening while lurking about IAP
I came across a thread on different ways
IAP members mount their pen blanks on
the lathe. Someone illustrated this point
with a photograph. The photo showed
the pen blank mounted on bushings;
and the bushings were mounted on a
dead center and live center tailstock. I
tried this technique over the holiday
weekend and was very impressed with
the results. That nagging wobble while
turning vanished!
I’m passing along my thanks to those
that participated in the discussion and also
thanks to those that are so willing to
share their knowledge. This little change I made
has improved my turning results. Again, thank you, all!
By the way, here is a picture of that ‘little change’
That I made.
