| What I've been doing... I got these made up for a little sale tomorrow. I don't have a lathe so I'm making them on my drill press. Thanks for looking.
Chris

| Chris, those are amazing, especially considering they were done on a drill press. Care to share your technique? |

| Chris,
That is really nice work considering you have no lathe.
Congrats on a job well done.
What finish do you apply on them?
Regards,
Marcel

| Way to go Chris.
I had one of those drill press lathe attachments before I got a real lathe and I know how much you would appreciate a lathe over using that . I made the six spindles for the top of my Dome clock with one of those Drill press attachments. I sold it after I got my lathe.
Nice work and good luck at the sale.

| Chris (thecopperfish) you did one hell of a nice job on those pens using the drill method. Hope you sell them all except the first one. You are keeping the first one arn't you?

| This is the drill press lathe attachment that he is using.
They are quite reasonable in price but you need a drill press that is big enough that it has slots in the table for mounting it.
I know when I was selling mine several people wanted it but their table would not accept it. Amazon.com: Grizzly H8071 Lathe Attachment for Drill Press: Home Improvement
