Is this the Place?

BF and Frank, did you cut the front of the pencil on a bandsaw? The bottom looks like you maybe used a drum sander???

I would be really interested in seeing some jigs for cutting different plug blanks on a band saw.

No luck on selling the Shopsmith, so am going to use it for the lathe and boring. Maybe get a mini and duplicator next year....

Not getting the lathe turning yet, as we are in the process of packing up my mom's condo and moving her to a retirement community this week, and storing much stuff at my house... I hope to be turning within two weeks.

Ross, here is what I use for pencil faces. Just rough out the angle with a saw and make the face with this angled v block (glued up 2 4x4's).
