Thanks for the mention Mark. I still lurk here occasionally but rarely log in. I don’t do much turning these days for health reasons that prevent me standing for long and restrict my mobility but I do still make a few pens which I am able to do from a tall revolving workshop stool. My tool restoration can be done sitting at the workbench. There are some examples of my restored tools on my website.

When I first started this addictive hobby in 2015, I saw an article by Walter about making an aluminium pen on a wood lathe.
I had a go, and as a newcomer to pen turning I was pleased with the result, and the article gave me the inspiration to carry on with the hobby.
Just a memory I thought I would share!
