I am going to try and slow down. I have a bad habit of going from zero to 100 way to damn fast. I want to work on quality and screw quantity.

I get anxious to see the final product sometimes, and it ends up biting me along the line.

Okay, you're talking that special language that only you and Lpherr understand, right?

I spent over a year researching pen tuning. Once I bought my first lathe the addiction started. Within 12 months I was buying my third lathe. One Cannot just turn pens, let’s make bottle stoppers, bowls, candle stick holders, Yada Yada Yada.

Qctp, is a dohickey that holds a sharp thing near a spinning thing

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yada Yada Yada.

See, now this I can understand!

Well why didn't ya just say that in the first place? I'm totally on board now.

 

[Lpherr]

I had a lathe before pens. There used to be a woodworking show on DIY, that the guy only worked on a lathe.
He was showing turned boxes with threaded lids, and pens in one episode. So I went to Johnson's Workbench, and Woodcraft for supplies, to give it a try. After a couple hundred dollars, I went home and made a pen. Back then, there were limited styles available.
It snowballed, and started casting, and a few years later found IAP.

Yall should learn to make screws. Tool collectors pay $20 each for Stanley BSW thread screws to repair old woodworking tools.

 

[target64]

Lpherr, have you made your own clips? What are your thoughts on roll stops?

 

[ancjr]

I like making mallets.
