Popular Post Tammi201 Posted May 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) My hubby made me a pen for Mothers Day. Gigi style blank, Maple, Cocabola, Chechen, and Black Veneer. What makes this even more special is he used the lathe tools that were is fathers. His father taught his wood working when he was growing up. His father passed away 33 years ago.

Dragonkort Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 oh that is so cool!!! beautiful workmanship!!! I inhearted my exs lath when he died, and he had all kinds of blanks for pen making and some small tool I think you use to put it together...iv seen small laths for making pens and often wounder if they can be made on a big lath? I don't know if he got the big lath for big things and then died before he could get the smaller lath for pen making. iv bought a book on the lath but so far I need to get some kind of square wood that I can practice turning on. lol I have a lot of the lath chisles too im thinking of maybe trying to take a lath class at johnsons work bench over the summer if they have one this year and if I can manage to get out of the house lol but if not i'll just keep reading my book and try to learn it that way lol but im rattleing here sorry its just such a great looking pen it makes me want to go out play with the lath!! namunolie, amazingkevin and Tammi201 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make pens on a big lathe. We bought our lathe at Johnson work Bench. We have a Jet Midi lathe. Have you been to the Wood Expo at Johnson Work Bench? amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
