Have a teacher who wants a slimline (no problem) and a pencil to match (here's the catch) that has an eraser ... anyone know of a creature like this?

I wish I knew the teacher. I have 6 sets, 3 in wood (Zebra, Pauduk, & Purple Heart) and 3 in Corian. The sets were some of my first turnings, because I thought people will be tripping over themselves to buy them. WRONG!!!

He wants to try and turn them himself on a small mini-metal lathe ... I just need to find him the kits and that he likes and then he can use my mandrels off my metal lathe to accomplish this task.

Actually, the rules have now changed ... he saw my mystery pen http://penturnersparadise.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=4163&highlight=mystery+pen and now wants a pen and pencil out of that style.

I told him I didn't know for sure the name of the kit, nor if satin gold was available, and I had made a set of bushings out of delrin and wasn't sure what
or if a pencil was available.

No problem ... I'll get some steel from school and you can make some bushings .. http://pcki11.farx.ru/sm/k1/img/oo.gifhttp://pcki11.farx.ru/sm/k1/img/oo.gif
