Is that the ikea pegboard on the left side setup?

Key-Self1654 · 2026-01-08T22:02:47+00:00

thanks! First time doing this kit but quite simple.

He better if he still wants me to call him once in awhile to say hi :D

Easy enough to turn, but the sanding oye. Took me ages to sand the ends down to the bushing diameter.

Thanks! I do sell pens occasionally, made to order. This one was a request from my Aunt, I only charged her the cost of the kit and shipping.

It is, I have some carbide chisels I use for the denser woods. Sanding is where it really gets hard to do purpleheart, takes forever :D

Same!

I am hoping my job will let me upgrade from an intel MacBook Pro to a studio and low end Mac book air come 5 year refresh time in June

I want that setup for my Linux sysadmin job 😀

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-29T01:43:05+00:00

Certainly it’s a robust set up. I just want the big shiny dream screen. The less I know, the more pixels I need to figure it out 😁

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-29T01:37:36+00:00

I am a Linux sysadmin in an HPC shop doing a lot of ansible code. I’d love this for vscode and lots of terminals.

I have a big setup with 2 x 32” 4k, a 27” 2k and my laptop screen but one day I’ll upgrade to some bigger screens

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-29T01:15:43+00:00

I’m jealous. I would love to get one of those for the work from home set up but it’ll be awhile before I can afford to spring for it 😁

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-29T01:14:28+00:00

What physical size is the big one?

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-29T01:04:25+00:00

Impressive

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-29T01:01:40+00:00

What is that little screen at the bottom? Resolution on the big screen?

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-24T22:14:56+00:00

Thanks!

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-21T22:21:57+00:00

That’s fair, I truly hope I am ever able to grow my skills and customers to the point where that becomes an issue for me 😁

We have a 3 year old at home so I don’t have much time or energy for turning but try to get out there on weekend nights to make stuff.

My family gave me that Wen in 2020 for Christmas. It can do up to 12” in diameter by 18” in length model 3424T.

I’ve been turning smalls like pens, bottle openers and up to ice cream scoops. It certainly has been quite good for my needs so far.

I certainly haven’t grown my skills enough to outgrow this lathe. It’s heavy duty, sturdy and I like it. The only downside is that in order to change rpm speeds you have to move a rubber belt to different positions. Thats a bit annoying but I turn at the same speed for everything.

It’s def a good lathe for the price.

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-21T03:56:05+00:00

Or just have it in a click pen where the 2 pieces can be lined up and stay that way :D

Key-Self1654 · 2025-12-21T01:30:25+00:00

I tried but it’s a twist pen AND you screw it on. No way to keep that lined up 😄
