What else can be turned using a pen mandrel?

[LittleMissCreative]

Evening all,

I'm thoroughly enjoying turning pens but what else can I turn on my mandrel?

Thanks.

Ruth.

Lots of things...
Shave brushes, razors, bottle stoppers, cork screws, perfume bottles, Axminster do a few kits as do others...if it takes a tube then it can go on a mandrel...but a lot of things are better either between centers of chucked

Anything you like it creates a stable base limited only by your imagination, if the material can be drilled and mounted away you go. For ideas and imagination let your fingers loose on the internet scour the craft selling sites see what others make and do in other places. Hope you find your niche and make the money you seek.

Mak has given you a good list, I have a couple spare ones that I use one my metal lathe.

Ruth I don't know if you've got a chuck and jaws but you could branch out into small bowls, tea light holders, candle sticks, the list goes on and on.
