Another blast from the past and that place we don't mention. This was a lot of fun. I should do another, I have some more ideas.
PVC pipe fittings turned down and epoxied in.
Tool rest at center height, draw 6 lines along the length. Lathe index makes it easy. Draw lines connecting the 6 lines to make a hex. Use a block plane to bring them down to the lines along the length. Walnut insert Fluting jig in use
Go ahead and make some. Guaranteed to put a smile on a kid's face.You don't have to keep pencils in it, it's a special place for special things.

I would like to have seen you use it your block plane on it.
That was the easy part. All long grain, nice clean cuts. That little block plane is almost the only hand plane I use, I'm not really a hand plane guy, I just try and use the right tool for the job.
