After seeing all of the people here that turn such great pens I was wondering if you guys could help me get started. I've already got a lathe but it's really old. I believe it was made in the 1940's. It still runs great but I can't find anyone that makes a live center for it and I think that turning pens requires one? Also Looking at pen mandrels it appears that you take your drive center out and it fits in there. That is another problem on this lathe, I can take the drive center out but all that is left is a rod coming off of the pulley shaft. I hope this all makes sense. If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. If you have any questions about the lathe feel free to ask.
