Very nice!

I'm not a woodworker by any means, and I have never used one of those, but it looks NICE!

Is that for for your pen turning that you were wanting to do?

You betcha....I cant wait.....in April Woodcraft is doing a beginners course...I plan on being there

 

[toolfreak]

I would like to see pics of some of your work when you get it figured out. I have always like woodworking and think pen turning would be interesting since there are some very expensive wood that would make some really nice pens.

My only obstacle.....which can be nothing or rather big is my hands tremble constantly....just a minor set back......kinda hinders me from being a doctor

 

[ranger_dood]

well... if you don't make it with pen turning, you can always start a new career selling industrial strength toothpicks....

I don't know what you can sell those pens for but my wife wants me to make crochet hooks like the ones this guy Graydog makes, their average price on ebay is often 60-80 dollars and some go for over a hundred.

Maybe down the road I might throw one or two on ebay.....but for awhile it will be just a hobby.

If I had $400 to go towards a Lathe I would too....but since I dont and probably wont ever this will do just fine for me

LMFAO, if she got it for you it might be a hint.

Pinoccio goes to Jepetto and tells him: "I need advice. When I have *** with my girlfriend, she gets splinters. What should I do?"
Jepetto: "Smooth it with some sand-paper."
A week later they meet again and Jepetto asks Pinoccio: "How is the *** with the girlfriend now?"
Pinoccio: "Who needs a girlfriend!"

Not if you use a dense enough wood... any of the "rosewoods" should be fine because they don't check once dry, and can be burnished to a nice finish
