Gerald Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Thanks for the post Lew. I have some mirrors out on bench in 2 and 3 inch with wood and just have to get the lead out and get moving. lew and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyDan Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 That pen mandrel is quite the setup. Now someone needs to do something about all the different bushings. Fortunately I have a hobby lathe and make them when I don't have the right size. Cal and lew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
