|  Father's Day Present--A pen turning lathe I think I'm in trouble... For father's day, my dad got me a pen-turning lathe, with a pen-mandrel and a thumbnail gouge... I've heard horror stories about what happens to people when they get a lathe and start turning pens... Are my scrolling days numbered? Should I finish all of the scrolling/carving projects I want to get done before I even set up the lathe? Help!!!! Bob

| No, he got one from me as well! My son died when he was three days old, but my wife and I make a special point to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day each year because we still are parents, even if our son is no longer with us physically. I got my dad a few woodworking books that are no longer commonly available. Bob

| Bob, You are so screwed!! I have made only one pen and It will probably be my last, BUT I am turning all sorts of other things, bowls chalices, vases etc. I start to sweat when I hear a chain saw. In reality I think turning is a great enhancement to the woodworking hobby. I find I am doing a little of both and trying to incorporate the two into a joint project.

| That's what I was afraid of <GRIN>. I got nearly unlimited access to oak, maple, cherry, and other domestic hardwood scraps (most 8/4 x 4-5" x 6") that scream to be made into something... all cut offs from a local chair and table maker... Bob

| I've had a lathe for a couple of years now. I just have the GF come over and use the scrollsaw, then I have to go to the lathe.

| OK Bob, just use the lathe to turn things you can scroll  Or maybe turn some wheels for cars I think the two tools go habd in hand anyway. In the past they were both one in the same machine. But I understand your fear. I have still yet to take carving seriously.
