Do you make right handed pens as well? :D :D :lol: :lol:
lol, I was trying to take a pic of the pens/pencils with my right hand and hold them with the left, but my hands were shaking so badly that I had to take a bunch of pics so I could get one that wasnt completely blurred, lol.

BTW, what kind of wood lathes do you guys have? I was just curious what everyone uses since Im planning on upgrading and making something better later on. This is what Ive been using so far, it's just thrown together with scrap that I had laying around. The dust collector is just a dual cage fan that came from a microwave oven for the exhaust fan, and it pulls the air through two furnace filters inside of the box on the floor.

I have a Delta mini lathe and an Atlas (I think). The Atlas needs put back together. I made a spacer block to raise the Delta to a 16" swing..

And a Monarch CY22 for bigger drums
