How to turn a pen without a lathe video

Never thought this actually would work but it did! Pretty happy how they turned out. Enjoy! Done with a drill and handplane (:

What innovative techniques @AndrewJones Great results! I particularly liked how you used the pen kit. What is the wood you used? Coupled with the aluminium and boiled linseed oil it looks superb.

Re: How to turn a pen without a lathe video

This is an interesting approach and I did see this sort of video on the internet a bit before I bought a lathe. I would be concerned about the safety of this. I guess it's about the level of risk you are prepared to take. 

Good luck.
