finally

and so did a project or 3 but finally managed some ME time in the shed

new kits arrived so managed to get this one done...,

I'm sure you guys must be fed up of me spamming you with my pens....but anyway :wink: Here is my latest effort - and finally no visible blemishes on the Acrylic!!! Padster

Finally managed to saw all of the blanks out of the pvc pipes....my hands hurt but I think it was worth the effort....

My Silver Birch pen blanks are finally ready! :ciggrin:

As you can imagine my usual main income teaching turning has been a bit sparse recently. I did sell a record amount of gift vouchers last year and have more people booking courses now that actually want to take up turning as a hobby, so things are probably going to get a bit mental once...
