Publisher's Note Here is the definitive guide to fashioning writing instruments, with superb photography that goes close-up and clarifies every procedure so you can select the one that's best for your abilities and tools. Turning pens and pencils is a quick, fun, and inexpensive way to express your creativity and design sense. The equipment is minimal (a lathe and little more) but the possibilities are many: there are ones that twist or click, a European-style pen, a tapered rollerball, fountain pens, and numerous variations. Work freehand, or try an alternative that combines a router and lathe; ornamental milling, or using a jeweler's lathe. Tips and tricks reveal which jigs and fittings increase efficiency. Bonus: an impressive gallery of finished items.
