Hi all,

My name is Bob and I am big hence the user name and I live up in the highlands. I got hold of an old Record RML 300 lathe about 6 months ago complete with a set of 4 chisels and purchased a chuck and a mandrel for making pens and a lot of pocket emptying bits and bobs for sharpening finishing man cave to put it all in etc. I have made some pens and really enjoy doing so but am just a beginner so looking forward to reading this forum and hope you all don't mind me asking numpty questions now and again.

Cheers Bob

Welcome to the forum Bob, we seem to have a growing number of folks from North of the border, which is great news, more chance of you bumping into each other and meetings.

Look forward to seeing some of your work, any questions ask away, answers will come, thick & fast
