At least for me.
35% design before ever going near a lathe
20% turning
45% detail work to finesse the final look, feel, fit, polish, etc...
I find that the actual act of turning (including threading) is so minimal compared to everything else. Tweaking the threads to get the turn count right and line up just right, posting depth, cap depth, polishing and detail work, clip recessing, finial fit, etc...
Pen "turning" really isn't quite the right description anymore.
