I purchased the wood rest package from LMS also. Most of the time I
put a round bar in the tool post since it is quick and most of the
time I am just putting the final contours on the piece being worked
on. Here is a photo:
In sharing that pix with a friend of mine and after looking over the
chisels Barry pointed me at, the same place had pen kits, something of
casual interest to me.
I was just wondering if the threaded rod in the chuck was a mandrel
for something like that? If not, I'll bet it would work!
Not sure how to drill out the blanks though, a three jaw chuck I don't
think would work.
Jenny gave me a couple pen kits (no wood, but I have some that would
do nicely) and I still have them in the back pocket of my suitcase,
which is sorta the motivation here :).
Thanks for stirring up the gray matter!
Take care, Vikki.
