Pencil box

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.
