Your right Steve, they stopped making these a few years ago now, i will keep watching ebay for one near by for a decent price ... :bwink:

I agree with Tony regarding the Pen Wizard, its not for me.

I have a friend who has a trend router lathe from which i have seen some lovely finished items, mainly candlestick holders, and table lamp holders. What is good with these is the fact of its repeatability, he has it down to a T, when finished each turning looks identical.
