Well, I finally got to make my first pen. Kit and blank from PSI, made on a metal lathe with a home grown tool rest and carbide chisels.

Looking forward to the next one...

You mentioned that you are using "a metal lathe with a home grown tool rest".

If you could post a picture of your tool rest, I would be very interested to see it. Thanks.

I'll take a couple of images and post them in the metal lathes forum.

I posted pictures and a description in the photo folder tools and fixtures. I hope that is OK. Sorry for the delay. I'm traveling for business and didn't have much time or a decent computer (can't use my work laptop).

Edwin,

Thank you VERY MUCH !!! . That tool rest is extremely professional !!! . I am very impressed and will think of making one like that for myself. . I am wondering where you bought the extruded aluminum (looks to be square with webbed cross section) cross piece. . I suppose I will find something similar if I do a bit of shopping around.
