I've just started turning pens on a lathe, and today I noticed that ALL of them have cracked. Anybody?
Today it got pretty hot, and I was thinking that maybe this caused it? Even some of my blanks cracked.
It would be the heat. Was it a wood lathe, as some people use metal lathes which run faster, and therefore hotter.
