    Thanks Lynn. I watched this a few years ago, but time goes by and I haven't done much pen turning recently. Seeing this as I start turning again reminds me to not order any pen boxes or gift tubes, but rather make my own from some scrap wood.

    I am currently setting myself up with a little wood turning space in my spare room. I currently have a lathe, a mitre saw, and some bits of timber. I am waiting on a bench grinder with a belt sander attachment, and my next purchase will be a pen making jig, some pen kits, and some wood blanks. This box idea is great and I will be using your example to make some boxes for my pens. Great video and tutorial, thanks.
