I'll be interested in seeing the end result of that "lesson". I never thought about using something like microlam for turning.

A few weeks ago I got a mini laser engraver. This morning I made a jig to engrave around the circumference of a pen (or whatever).

On the lathe, I have been making a series of pens - not sure what got me started, but have a couple graduate pens to complete, and cleaning up kits and blanks that have been laying around for a few years.

Reply #6 - Jun 14^th, 2019 at 2:50pm Right now i'm turning a yo-yo out of black locust. Found a good way to make it by drilling a 7mm hole thru the blanks and cementing in a piece of standard 7mm brass pen tube. Turned on the pen arbor I don't know, maybe that's the way everyone does it??

That's the way I do it but there are special yo-yo mandrels and such out there if you want.

I have been working on a lot of bowls. I had 2 demos, one in Washington, and one in Portland, OR where the club wanted Bowl Turning 101 for the evening. I did 2 bowls, one the way I turn when doing production work, and one the way most other people turn bowls. I have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out the NRS and applying that to bowls, and working on improving my over all bowl skills. I think it is time to do 'new and improved' bowl turning videos.... Have a show coming up in about a month, the only one I do any more....

Oh, trying to get 'path ways' and stations established in the new shop....
