Thanks for the pics and info. Very helpful indeed.
As the current kit design I bought uses only a single section, I'm able to keep the mandrel short, with most of it in the bore of the headstock and the spacers against the 4 jaw scroll chuck's jaws. I didn't buy the skew but turn using HSS lathe tool. Initially I thought the blank will turn out to be straight and unattractive, but I realized that I can still shape it a little with the sand paper to give it a gentle curl. Kind of fun to do that.
