Well, if pen sales keep going the way they are then I will be able to buy one for myself just after Christmas!

£300 in orders since Saturday and I have to make a stock of pens for this weekend!

I'm going to mention this to the Ferarri dealer the next time I call him... He'll have to give me discount if you get one too. Just another 18,545 craft shows to do:thumbs:

People with money hate giving it to people who haven't earned it. A few bob here and there is okay, young people especially don't have a clue about the value of money, unless you ask them to pay for something out of their own money:thumbs:

So, family have no idea what I want for turning so asked me for a list.

Said list has been duly provided and living in dream land, I put this on the list:

Nova Dvr Variable Speed Lathe 55178 from Stiles and Bates

I would say as they do you are out of control.

But never mind nothing ventured and all that.

Kind regards Peter.:goesred:

What do you reckon my chances are?

:thinks:

There are so many lathes I would choose in front of this one.
