Thank you all. Very kind comments! I appreciate it.

Started turning about 8 months ago. Had previous experience but never my own lathe! I got a lot of advice from reading the threads on this forum which im very grateful for. The expertise of members here saved me a lot of head scratching! Haha

That looks great - did you make that blank yourself?
Thank you Chris. Yes I try to make them all myself now just so they are different. Definitely doesn't save any money though!

Picture below of the leftover section. This will likely find its way into a single section pen eventually.

As Mark said "What an entrance". Nice work. Could be a Pen of the Week winner.
You're right though, it certainly ain't cheaper. I too
like these kits.
Cheers
