Paul hd Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Hi All. After coming across a post by Roly (Phantom Scroller) about a pen he turned, it got me wanting to get the mandrel up on the lathe and turn a pencil kit. 😀 This is a Slimline pencil kit with copper fittings. These are great kits to practice with as they are pretty cheap. I made a mistake however with this one. The brass ring you see just below the copper centre ring is the tube that gets glued in the middle of the wood blank. I went too deep with the skew, but as it happens it doesn't look too bad. 😊 Walnut and English Elm. bobscroll and LarryEA 2 Quote
