"Dad, when I grow up I want to be just like you !!" Here are a couple cigar pens I put together the other day. Thought you might get a kick out of them. Large one is Quilted Sapple, small one is Brazilian Rosewood. Jim S
Thank you for sharing Jim.
I have all the gismos and gadgets and probably alot of things i thought i needed but dont.
Just wish i had something that would drill straight :biggrin:
Lathe: just enough off center for perfect. Just when i get close to final demension with tbc bushings, i go between centers. As long as i have the tail stock retracted as far as it will go, point to point centers are very close. I tried a couple diffetent ways to drill on the lathe, but the hole would end up being to big for a tube. So i use my drill press for the drilling of all my blanks, doesnt mater if its off a little on square blanks. I will have new lathe with in a month. Ive been buying tools ( chucks and such ) for awhile now so i will have the little goodies for the new lathe.
Thank you Jim for the advice. Look forward to seeing more of your cigars.
My cigars for now, come from Don Vann. :biggrin:
