Eventually got there

[Legin]

Good morning all hope you're all well.
Just an update eventually got everything thing sorted small lathe, which I got for a bargain £70 charnwood W,1815
Then the expenses of a mandrel, chucks, sanding, oil's,laqures, the list went on
But I got there. My first ever attempt at this lovely hobby.yes made a few mistakes but learnt from them.
Thanks to everyone comments and support.
It can only get better. I hope.

Well done.
I've had a Charnwood for 8 years without any problems, except a new on/off switch.
I don't put mine in the garden like you. I am allowed to put it out of the way in the garage!!!!

Well done Nigel. It's quite a buzz when you eventually get there as I remember (as long as you can overlook the resultant state of the ol' bank balance.)

Why not take another photo of it when it's pressed together and put in the Wood Tuned Pens forum - it's always great to see first pens in their finished state.

Morning Phil
Thanks for your comments, just waiting for a pen press to arrive and get it together,
Just ordered new oils for the finishing for the next one I do.
I'll post my finished and boxed pen when completed.
Thanks again Phil.

Either keep your first or take loads of photographs, 6 months or a year from now you'll be able to critique it and see how you progress.... Its a wonderful journey.... Keep em coming
