I really like your pen press very imressive. Your pens look great also. Same with the rest of you nice thread thank you for starting it again.
This was my last project learning to use my lathe duplicator. I have a lot to learn I did not have the template center right so the second copy came out smaller that the original so a lot of sanding and re-turning by hand to get them looking identical. This was a nice challenge. Next time I will be more carefule. I used bees wax as a finish the wood is red oak cut-offs I was given a few months ago.
Nice job! I also see, in the back ground, that you have completed your Mark .V as well. Another nice job.
I'm thinking about rebuilding mine. That is, build a replacement. My plans were in terrible condition and I made some interpretations, where I couldn't read the plan, and most of them were wrong. Bottom line...doesn't pass my inspection. I have a good set of plans now...no excuses.
