Ally is easer to turn as for speed about mid range sorry but I dont take any notice of actual speed normally I start of slow and increase the speed till it seems OK all you have to watch is heat build up I have a pot of water and a bit of cloth to stop the lathe and cool it down this is good for the tool and the glue joint on the pen tube

Really nice (and different) pen 
Unfortunately I don't know if I'm going or not due to work Woody. I would just buy a ticket and take the chance but I don't want to deprive someone else as there are limited spaces.
That is ashame Paul it would have been nce to meet up with you maybe another time
Yep, all above.. Nice pen there Gandad.. Well finished and for a good cause as well....
That's staggering, the finish on that is superb.
I can only imagine how much effort goes into getting it to look like that.
I used to have enough trouble when I used a metal lathe
