My brain is having trouble with the pen blanks being anywhere near
that lathe.

Beautiful machine. If he knocks off two zeros, I might be able to
afford the shipping.

Judging by all the equipment, in as-new condition, and vast number of
accessories, he is an amateur and compulsive tool and jig buyer. The
lathe is an older model of one that would now cost close to CAN$6k.

that is a possibility and seems likely
additionally they are probably afraid of it
additionally they have a lot of money to throw around

did not see that but that is interesting

i have a small lathe and never wanted to do pens

like the other poster noted it seems they like the buying and collecting
of tools but not the using part


it reminds me of those stories you hear of pro sports rookies that
suddenly come into a lot of money and buy crazy cars and houses
and whatever else they could never afford
