Fellow Creeker Dahl Troy made the following tools.

From left to right.

A SWEET pen press with adjustable block and piston from UHMW plastic. Don't mind the dust - I should have dusted it off before I took the picture.

A 9" extension for my beal buffing system that is just what the doctor ordered. It really makes buffing large pieces easier. As a matter of fact I don't even use my short one any more. I added the threaded rod, plywood and knob to hold it in place.

An EZ rougher clone that I just got a handle on, so I have not had much of a chance to use it but when I have used it it really hogs off the wood. Plus he included about 4-5 extra blades.

A hunter clone that really works on the inside of bowls. Nice smooth cut.

I am telling you, these tools are as good as any you would buy. VERY professional.

Thanks Dahl,

Toney

Toney,
That's a really nice looking pen press. Hey, if he decides he wants to make a few dollars I'd buy one. The other tools look pretty sweet too. It's always good to have good friends!

those are some nice tools and the dust just shows that you've actually used the press.
