I thought this was going to be a hard one!

Come on lady luck!!!

 

[workinforwood]

That woodchuck needs a really special handle. It should therefore be presented to me!

 

[GaryMadore]

Man, there are going to be a zillion correct answers to this one: EVERYBODY knows that he orients the grain such that the coriolis effect holds the lacquer in place so that it doesn't run or sag.

Less well known is that he actually inverts the barrels when dring them south of the equator - again, using the coriolis effect to prevent runs/sags.

Don't bother to look it up, gang: Feel free to copy/paste my response - I don't mind sharing....

Aint' science fun?

Cheers!

It's NOT a Woodchuck, but rather a Beavertooth, and should therefore be presented to ME.

Cheers!

Gary (that's a reference to Canada, for anyone who missed it)

 

[rej19]

If I win that would be 3 times. So I will give it to the one who feels they are most deserving.

Oh, I am sorry I thought this was the liars club contest.

 

[GaryMadore]

Oh, I am sorry I thought this was the liars club contest.

Hehehehhehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehheh

You had me going for a minute there... NOT!

Cheers!

...such that the coriolis....

This is a family site, find another place for your potty mouth!

Very generous offer! we will have it sent to you for "special handling" and you can forward it to me when I win :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:!

NO! you'll just stick it in a sponge!:rotfl:

 

[wolftat]

I am hoping to win, but if I don't it will be okay since I have one of these and it is a great tool. The longer shaft is great for bigger hands and I feel I have better control because of it. I don't have a shiny one though and I like shiny stuff.

 

[PenAffair]

So there's still two winners, but only one gets the scraper, right?

Will there be a smackdown to see which of those two gets the big prize?

[bitshird]

I heard that there will also be a pretty nice solid machined brass ferrule and maybe some extra inserts, but what do I know

Russell

If you look at some of the pens that Chuck has made, you aren't going to lose either way.

Well, you will loose if you are not one of the two selected by the Random Number Generator. :laugh:

:cat: I think I will send a black cat accross everyone's path. :cat:

I can not believe someone would revert to bribery such as this to win (or disqualify) a friend

I was at Camp Casey, Korea from 1985 to 1988 - they kept declaring me 'mission essential'.
There are plenty of things that I'm sure I have forgotten - and plenty more that I wish I'd forget!!
Walking the wall back to 1st Tank, Soju punch, paying adashi to do my laundry, and many, many more...

Givin' me chills...

Three years at Camp Casey, now THAT gives me chills.
