Hey fellow wood turners, been a while since I was on here. Life has kept me busy with kids and grandkids. I am still turning and learning. I have been making all kinds of items, mostly for gifts. I am getting more into lifted boxes and bowls. Been making pens for 15 years now. I have been invited to teach a beginners pen turning class at a local tech school which I am very excited about.

The teacher is a good friend of mine and she has students that want to make pens and duck calls. She has a small mini lathe. The only problem is that she has no tools or accessories to go with it. It has a MT 1 taper spindle. If by any chance you have any MT 1 accessories lying around and not using, would you consider donating them for the class? Also looking for Sierra style pen kits and a few duck call reeds. All help will be appreciated. Thank you

Hey, Keith!

 

Congrats on the teaching gig! That should be a blast. I will post this in next "Wednesdays Wisdom..." to help get more coverage.

Thank you

Howdy from Texas Keith.  Looking forward to seeing some of your work.

You can get spindle adapters to go from 1 up to MT2. Should solve the problem. 

Thanks, never thought of that because mine is MT 2
