The good Dr. and I got down to the dungeon the other day and managed to create a closed end mandrel for slimlines from an old pen mandrel shaft I'd pulled from service due to warping. Cut the flat on it with a mill file then chopped it to length with a dremel. It could then be screwed onto a mandrel morse for use.
Allan did the honors of turning the first trial blank out of some walnut. After leaving it set for a day I got the other half of the blank and finished the pen with a custom centerband in gold and orange PR to suggest a cigar band. The little tyke looks like one of those miniature cigars with a tip.
