Hello, I have only turned a few pens on a cheap woodcraft mandrel, I want to get one or two from Joe at turncrafts and need advice on the length to get. Should I get the 5",6",8",10", or 12". I have seen that many turn one blanks at a time and want to try it that way. I'm willing to get more then one, so should I get a couple different lengths for different things. Also should I get both A and B size mandrels, I have not turned anything else then 7mm pens and thats all I have at the moment. I guess as short as you can use is best to avoid bending of the shaft. Just not sure what is he best size to get. I want to make a few gifts for the holidays, but I'm not happy with my woodcraft mandrel(I may have been the one to put a slight bend in it,not sure). Thanks everyone, Victor
