New tool gloat - not pen related, yet...

[hilltopper46]

This was on the front porch waiting for me when I got home from work tonight. I haven't quite figured out how it is related to pen turning, yet, but I bet I will in time.

OOoooo.... I want one! What is it?

 

[hilltopper46]

Uhhhhhh - sorry - I got carried away. For the uninitiated - it is a wire feed welder.

 

[jtate]

Whazzat?

 

[GoodTurns]

contact Stephen (skiprat)..I bet he's welded up a pen!

You can use it to make tool rests.

I've had a Hobart wire feed mig welder. It is a useful tool around the house and farm. Have not yet leraned how to turn a pen with it but am trying.

You could probably do some burning on your pens real quick, but I wouldn't want to touch your lathe while you were doing it. []
