Picked up the delta midi lathe at the Sears catalogue store last night just as they were closing. Got is set up and turned my first pen this afternoon. Considering I haven't touched a lathe in 45 years since high school I'm happy. Used some pieces of honey locust that the neighbor had cut down a couple years ago.
Will have to get some larger cutters though. The ones that came with it are micro tools. Good for pens and small stuff but thats about all.
Since it's a $600 pen the wife has already claimed it.
