As far as I know, pens are made with brass tubes, not steel. The brass sould not harm steel chisels used in a lathe nor would they harm carbide bits in a router. Non-carbide bits woud not be my choice. On Tuesday, April 14, 2015, Michael Kratky krat...@roadrunner.com wrote: Have not turned a

2014-05-02 Thread Don Butler
In my practice with the LOM I have built a few outdoor columns. The peculiar problems come with the harsher conditions outdoor woodwork has to endure. A solid column may crack due to the outside material shrinking much faster than the core. I see 4x4 posts cracked like that all the time. To
