Spent this afternoon with my Grandson Tom who is doing woodturning as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Award. He wanted to have a go at making an Omega. I am well pleased with what he has produced apart from verbal advise he done this on his own

I took the picture though !

Vic I commented on the pen as a dual effort on another post but stand corrected Tom exceeded the requirements IMHO an excellent result trust it helps him on his way to the award.

Excellent pen Tom, it is good that Granddad is an expert in photography as it helps show us the quality of pen that you can turn and finish .. :winking:
