Pens and chess pieces

Practice spindles for making a chess set, for my too smart by half son. I taught him how the play chess, taught him everything I know ( which isn't much), and now I can't win a game. So I'm no longer interested in playing chess, only in turning chess pieces.


Pens: interesting though it'll get a bit repetive unless I get creative, which I might. Much easier than it looks, once you've got the gear. And you have to purchase the "works" of the pen. the only wood-turning is the barrel. A good turner could easily make a couple of pens in an hour, including putting them together. I take about an hour per pen at the moment.
