introducing me to turning pens
|
When you said "pens", I first thought Hog Pens (ref Hog Farmer), or some special pin thingie.
I love WRITING pens. I am trying to re-learn cursive writing. Side note, my son of 18 couldn't read my Mom's B-Day cards and many other old farts cursive writing. I am into the old style "fountain" pens. In the old days, a way to judge a persons character was in the way they wrote. Now with the internet, type out and print what you want to say, no need (as my son told me)...except when you have to write a thank you note, hand written or printed
Lost art.
Cool ass bowl. I have not gotten into lathe work. Yet!

yes my 12" compound sliding miter can cut up to 60 degrees angles.

You have MUCH more knowledge then I do. But for a basic hobbyist, you can't rip wood with a miter saw. Yes, nice angles, but not rip.
If space is an issue and not portability, I think the 2 main saws should be a radial arm saw and a table saw. I could very well be wrong. What can you do with a miter saw that can't be done with a non-portable RAS?
If I, as a hobbyist, with limited space and budget...me thinks those two. JMO.
Nice discussions though.
