Freebies = priceless

[maxman400]

My 7 year old niece is visiting for the summer, and the first thing she asked to do was to make a pen. So with some shop modifications (step stool) we went to work.

But when you use one to make a memory for a youngster---THAT is OUTSTANDING!!

Thanks for sharing the moments!

Very cool! I'm sure she had a blast helping make it. Love how you divided up the blank btw. Any reverse painting needed with it?

 

[Buzzzz4]

Very cool. Great to have the quality time, and she's got skills!

Great job by you both. Any time spent teaching something new to young people is time well spent.

Great work

I still have my Daughter's first pen she ever turned

That blank is the perfect choice for grabbing a youngster's attention, that's for sure! One of these days I'm going to get around to making a Sharpie pen using that blank for a friend of mine who is a recording artist. She signs lots of CDs and photos, therefore the Sharpie part, and for the blank, well heck, ANYONE would love the blank!

Good on you and your niece!

I agree, that pen turned out very nice, and the moments share are priceless...!

You may need to get that "step" raised slightly, as she is still a little too low but apart from that, all is great...!

Cheers
