In this video I cover a couple of question regarding the lathe build. I built the lathe in order to enter The 2016 Pen Turning Challenge. The challenge is being put on by James Green.

Just watched your lathe build video and kudos for thanking Izzy, he's a great guy. With regards to your thread cutting method in case anyone hasn't already told you this but you should do a full turn then reverse for a 1/4 turn then go back and do another full turn, that way you remove all of the swarf as you go and don't stress or clog the die cutter.

Glad you figured out how to fix your vibration problem.

On another note.... I was really expecting a full blown video of you making furniture for your whole house just because the title said: "Pen Lathe Update"... ;) ( I know... and I'll say it before anyone else does.... SMARTA$$ !!! ) lol

interesting lathe build, i've built a few lathes and posted videos, but never a dedicated pen lathe, or used a drill for a power source.

Great setup Moy. Looks like a fun project...if you need more power you simply replace the drill LOL.

It's great to see the lathe working out for you, now if I can get five minutes to play with mine :-) The pen challenge is a really great thing for our men and women serving.

hi a bolt threaded all the way is called a hex head set screw one with a plain shank (usually threaded 2-3 times the dia) is a bolt and as you found out threaded portions will wear

Hi there from Portugal,
Q: Can it work as a "not pen"/Normal lathe? can you demo/test turning some nobs or small handles?
Thanks

Love the lathe and mandrel. I cant enter the pen challenge as im not in the US and it would be weird to support foreign soldiers anyways. But challenges always produce good content to enjoy and learn from. Cheers!

I just found your channel and subscribed, great content and I love the thought that went into this lathe. I'm a machinist by trade and a great resource for small size steel is MSCdirect.com. Enco and McMaster Carr are other great resources. Enco has great sales on calipers and other measuring tools from time to time. Keep up the great work!

nice job with the lathe but why? You can buy a lathe for less then 200 bucks

Hi Moy! would you consider selling me a pen wood lathe without the drill, i can install that... I don't have the tools or space to make one and I don't think they sell anything like this at home depot or anywhere else... no one sells one online and I would really love this style and model.... with my rechargable dremel... I can use pay pal for any expenses and would really appreciate you helping us find a hobbyy and project to be proud of.. thanks miriam and johnny
