I'm getting ready to buy all the mandrels, drill bits, bushings and other stuff I need to make pens, but I have a couple of questions.
1. I have not turned any pens yet, but I'm told the thick cigar style pens are harder to make than the slimline pens. What makes the thick pens harder to make?
2. I've seen nice pens from Woodcraft, Penn State and Woodturners Catalog. Who makes the best or are they all the same quality?
