Fresh of the lathe today this was going to be my last segmented pen but not all went to plan I made a segmented pen blank out of African blackwood aluminum red plastic and black corian which had sparkles in it asembly went well now to drill it out got just over halfway and the corian decided to exploded into two pieces but true grit and all that cut a fresh bit and we are away drilled and tubed second disaster I had sprayed a tube to fit but in the excitement forgot and glued a plane tube in but didn't realise till after I had turned it and you could just about see the tube through the red plastic and you cant see the sparkles in the corian oh well another day tomorrow I think I will make a bowl LOL
