Great pen kit, very cool!
Review by Ginelle H. on 1 Dec 2024 review stating Great pen kit, very cool!
Great pen kit, I love the bolt action, but I wanted to gift somebody a pen who doesn't do a lot of hunting or have any reason for one of the rifle ones. This was a perfect alternative while still including the fun bolt action mechanism.

Half Useable
Review by Mark on 23 Jun 2024 review stating Half Useable
On the two blanks I bought, the Burled wood was only on one end and not evenly balance throughout the blank. Essentially you can only turn half of it. I used the better of the two. I’m return the other one; it didn’t have much burled wood.

Jet 1221, swap the hold down for a banjo disc
Review by John H. on 23 Jun 2024 review stating Jet 1221, swap the hold down for a banjo disc
I needed a solution for a Jet 1221 to hold pieces while hollowing. I stumbled upon on this and it appeared to be sturdy. It does take a little tinkering to get it set, but I'm happy with it. The hold down was difficult to get on and off the lathe regularly so I bought a Jet specific banjo disc, a 3/8 bolt + washer, and a knob. I JB welded the bolt to the disc and added the washer/knob on top. Now it slides onto the end of the lathe easy and all the way down without clashing into the under support webs and a few twists of the knob its is secured. I have had no issue with the wheels either.

Fun Project
Review by James W. on 23 Jun 2024 review stating Fun Project
Simple to turn and, although the first assembly was a little tricky, the next was easy. I do not recommend the forster bit sold with th bundle. ½x2½ minimum blank is a must or your egg will be a football. Turning tips, be careful not to press the tailstock bushing too hard or risk breaking the narrow shoulder on your blank, and the widest part of the egg is a lot closer to the middle (lengthwise) than I expected.

So far all seems to be fine. I have started up operations again making French Rolling Pins and pens. Working towards building my inventory of Mills, Christmas Tree Ornaments and whatever other turned items for the Fall Christmas 2 day Craft Show I can come up with. I have not used the Lathe to its full capacity yet but plan BIG things as time moves forward. Expecting GREAT reliability from the ‘Commander’

Beast case!
Review by mike k. on 18 Jun 2024 review stating Beast case!
This case is a beast on the outside, it should survive a nuclear blast! It's not a lightweight case, on the inside you get two displays, each one holds thirty bigger than average pens, the clear cover is held in place during transport with magnetic straps, the displays are removal from the carry case and there's plenty of dense foam to cover and protect everything. This case is definitely worth the money, just make sure to hit the gym before carrying it around, it's very well made and lockable as well. Looks are very pleasing as well

Review by Scott on 15 Jun 2024 review stating Good Seller
I've made several of these and they sell really quickly, specially when using wood and resin blanks. Can be tricky keeping the holes in line so the top stays straight when grinding pepper. I use a short piece of dowel inside and hot glue the top and bottom together to turn it all at once.

Turned and sold one as a special order. It’s a beautiful one, but you need to be real careful assembling it. I cracked one acrylic barrel when pressing the clip end in. The second rebuild of the same pen cracked (at the clip end again) after the customer took possession. Third attempt is good. So far.
