In the beginning

Working at Lee Valley Tools gives one access to new horizons and one of those horizons is the seminars they offer to customers and staff. This late summer I took a class in pen turning and really enjoyed the learning experience.

So we have bought a General "Maxi- lathe" Model 25-100M1 off of the Calgary website of www.Kijiji.ca. It came with a small set of lathe tools and a few other items. Other tools and supplies have been added since to collect dust, store supplies, finish and store.

The first three pens are done and there will be pictures soon. That does not mean the first three were successful in all ways but they are finished!
