Well I finally got around to submitting my Materpiece to the Pen Makers Guild. Recieved word today it was accepted. :) It is made from black ebonite, hand painted using metal powders under Enduro poly. Has my new friction fit cap design, using a metal ring. The nib will be replaced with a gold one as soon as I get my hands on it again!
Thanks for looking.

I'm sorry, Tony just can't resist! If you LOOSE your ass in the clubhouse, you will probably clear the room! [:D]

Awesome pen, congratulations on your acceptance!

William, I never really told you the truth and how that bathroom fire started. [:D]

Gary, I hope Margie didn't pitch that old autograph I sent her. [8D]

Thanks all for the comments.

Eagle, it's been about three years since I did any pottery, almost starting to miss it. Got pottery burn out for awhile. I was thinking of dusting the ole kiln off and making some stone ware pens, what do you think?? I know they would be beautifull, the only reason I haven't started it, if you drop them.....well....you get the picture.
or pieces....[V]

Sure Don, you can buy me dinner [:D]

Let's see here, Tony. I remember some story a while back about a guy dumping some aromatic hyrocarbons down the john, then taking a seat to do his business, and on finishing his smoke tossing the butt(cigarette that is) between his legs into the toilet. He suffered severe burns about his private parts. When his wife heard the kaboom, she ran in discovered what he'd done, went hysterical with laughter and had a very hard time through all the laughing convincing the 911 operator that she had a real emergency. When the EMTs arrived they became so hysterical that they dropped the stretcher with the guy on it on their way down the driveway. This broke an arm and a collar bone. I don't remember all the details, but it got even worse.

Question is: Since you just admitted that you hadn't told us the whole story - Had you been cleaning up your Cave Creek Casting molds with acetone and after getting a little high ihaling all those aromatic hydrocarbon fumes attempt to re-enact the above story???[}:)][:eek:)][:D]

Come on now! You know that confession is good for the soul![:0]

Ron, I am probablly not the one to ask, being the newest member. There is a link on the front page of IAP that will take you to the Yahoo group and the PGM site.Anyone can join the Yahoo Penturners group and you have to submit for application into the PMG which focuses on taking pen making up a notch in design and materials. There are many members here that belong to the PMG.

So tell us about the chrome ring? Where did that come from? BTW, I thought it was a given that you were already a PMG member. The turban top definitely would have gotten you in.

Thank you again for the well wishes, I like to think I bring somethng to the table that's worth looking at every now and then. Without finding IAP the knowledge, ideas and motivation that comes from this group, I would have never made a submission.

Shane, if you would start making pipes, you would recognize that ring. [:D] When I was at the pipe supply shop buying materials they have these nickle rings or bands in all sizes, they are used for decoration in the stem in pipe making. Well every time I look at stuff latlely, I think how can I use that in pen making. I was working on my friction fit caps when I saw these and thought they might work. after squishing several and ruining some others, I came up with a way. I just bought some smaller ones to do in a Baron/Jr size, but as you know, I have gotten side tracked lately putting my house back together. I hope to have something out by the first of July with them. Oh, they also have them in sterling silver and 14K gold, although a touch on the pricey side.

Fred, It's only good when you have to make yourself right with the Lord. Any other time, its best kept to yourself [:D]

But, I do have a cousin (kinda hate to admit it sometime) that lights his farts at night, looks like a blow torch. I would put up big money on him against anybody in competion[:D] Your little story reminded me of him.
