like to turn Acrylic pens more then I do wood? I have tried and tried to get some decent looking wood pens but I just can seem to get them to look good - Don't get me wrong I do like my wood but I just can't get them to turn out the way I would like for them to be - I told my wife to day that if I couldn't get this one to work I was going to sell all of my pen making stuff - I was about to give up on this one because the end of the pen mandrel was wobbling pretty bad and no matter what I tried I could not get it to stop - so I shortened the mandrel and turned the top part first with no problems - put the bottom piece on and there it was again - the wobble - I was about ready to thrown in the towel and something told me to look at where you have your end bushing - it was on the threads :embaresse not the mandrel itself :slap: :BangHead: so I readjusted the mandrel and smooth riding from there on out -
So here it is - Thanks for looking -
