Really nice work Dim! They came out great!

[@DIMTips]

Thank you. I really appreciate your comment.

[@DubiousEngineering]

I love your little lathe! ;-)

[@DIMTips]

Thank you very much. Really started to enjoy it too. Let's see how long it lasts. More worried about the drill motor lasting. Might need to invest in something bigger at some point.

[@kathrinekerns8398]

[@DIMTips]

Thanks Huw, trying a few things. Just having fun. Hopefully get to your level one day.

[@Mr-Zhou]

Good idea, I will make a wooden pencil for myself too

[@DIMTips]

Excellent. You absolutely should. I am sure you will do a fantastic job win your lathe.

[@JiggsysShed]

Cool idea

[@DIMTips]

Thank you. It turned out ok. A little big but does the job.

[@HideawayHomesteadLLC]

Something relaxing about watching a lathe. The pencils both turned out great. I liked the solder with crayon 🖍 trick too. Thanks for sharing.

[@DIMTips]

Really appreciate the comment. Seems like I am using crayons with everything at the moment.

[@DANYMITERESTORATION]

I enjoyed your candle video and had to look at another one - i restore things and wood turning is really fascinating! Great job!

[@DIMTips]

Really glad you enjoyed the wood turning videos. Thank you.

[@oneturnatatime6309]

Neat idea. I never thought of making a pencil. Thanks for sharing

[@DIMTips]

Actually really easy. You should try it.

[@BlueyPastle]

Great pencils DIM, plenty of wood on them. I do like the idea of the markings too, it would be better than my guessing at the time 😬
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍

[@DIMTips]

Thanks buddy. Nice and chunky pencils. I was worried that the would might snap. Will have more faith next time and go a little further. Thanks for checking in.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

smart idea!

[@DIMTips]

Thank you. Not something I have seen yet so thought why not try it out.

[@tfturning]

They turned out great, nice job! It's always tricky working with the longer spindles especially when it has that flex as you push in! I've been in that situation and snapped the piece a few times 😂

[@DIMTips]

really appriciate that. Think i need a rest of some sort. Also still working things out on the lathe.

[@tfturning]

@@DIMTips You're doing great so far from what I've seen!

[@DIMTips]

Appreciate it. Coming along slowly but surely.

[@SuzyTopAgent]

This came out cool, I like that it has a dual purpose.
I know this might be a silly question but do you use a foot pedal for your lathe like they do for sewing machines. Looks like fun to do!

[@DIMTips]

Thank you Suzy. Great question, I do not have a pedal like a sewing machine. It is the magic of video editing. There is a dial on the drill which controls the speed. However, it is a great idea and may try it out. May really help me.

[@SuzyTopAgent]

@@DIMTips it looks really cool and fun. Now I wish I would've taken wood shop in school!

[@DIMTips]

😊

[@hammondmiers3789]

I have checked many woodworking plan sites. I think the instructions from Stodoys are the best.
