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.

Have some nice pieces to turn some bowls later. Right now trying to finish a Noahs Ark for my granddaughter..Also made a home made pen press to see how that worked. And it works fine for me
Thanks

Beautiful work, Bill.

Nice net!!! Where's the fish?

Here ya go MB - too big for the net!!

Dusty, Bill,
So you saw that SS .5 in the background. Well it is not completed yet I have to build the quill and saw blade yet. It is not up to my specs either Dusty and I may want to re-build it. It was alot harder to build than it look like. I was surprised at all of the different methods you need to do to create it. When I get it to meet my specs and it is finished I will post some pics of it. I need to come up with some extra $$ to buy some more wood. Right now that is a challenge. Thanks for the compliments. Back to making sawdust.

I dont know, may be the lighting but it looks kinda plastic to me.

That is a beautiful chest Chuck, and great looking dovetails. A true craftsman
