I am going to brag again, but first, John, if this is in the wrong section, please move it to the appropriate section. Thank you. It's been awhile, but finally he got excited to make his own pen. I purchased 25 kits to make some for Ed (MountainGuardian). When my grandson asked about them, I asked if he would like to make his own. Oh, it was like Christmas. I didn't get any pictures of him band sawing the mahogany pen blanks. And, I didn't get any pictures of him boring the holes or inserting the tubes or cleaning up the ends to get them into final size and shape. But, I have pictures of him starting his roughing, trying to decide his design, making his final design and ready for finish. So, here goes. Here he is roughing the blanks. Cal, do you recognize the mandrel? I like that it fits perfectly in the Nova chuck. I had just shown him how to taper toward the end. He is trying to get his head around the concept, but he got it in a few seconds. He is doing the final shape. I showed him here how to turn the parting tool on its side, use the heel of the point to make lines. He tried it. Here comes the shot where he is so proud. I advised that he not take it to school for risk of theft or loss. He is not going to take it home as his sister and parents will all want to use it. He's a smart young man. Age 13. I hope this gives hope in your abilities and that some of you can trick your youngsters to do something not electronic. Here's hoping for you.
