This is how I've conned you all

[D.Oliver]

For years I've fooled you folks into thinking I was a competent penturner. Here's how I've pulled off this ruse. I get awesome blanks that practically turn themselves and then I take all the credit for it myself. Don't believe me. May I point your attention to exibits A through F.

Exibit A. Stripes blank by Invisibleman




Exibit B. Stripes blank by Invisibleman





Exibit C. Marble blanks by Invisibleman






Exibit D. Brooks803 blank






Exibit E. Brooks803 blank





Exibit F. Claro Walnut from Kludge77




So as you can see with the help of the afore mentioned members I have been able to fool you all into believing I knew what I was doing. The guilt kept eating at me though and I felt I had to come clean. So now you know.

Avbill I found your lavender blank (its not trustone though)








Oh and it case anybody is keeping score on who has turned more pens between Seamus and I, I'll go ahead and add this to the mix also.

Confession is good for the soul...

I do this also, and take credit for the good hardware/pen blank match up. Of course there is the proper squaring of the blanks and the turning, sanding and finishing that don't happen by themselves.

So, great eye for all those things you put together and create a fantastic product that looks so good. I am taking note of those members - those choices are awesome.

Thanks for fessing up :biggrin: It takes someone special to admit it. But someone made some nice pens

These blanks have just done a great job. I love them all. And also the camera did a great job on the photos. I hope you are watching and learning as this is happening.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.:tongue::biggrin:

Someone once gave me a rather humorous definition for 'expert': an 'ex' is a has Ben and a 'spurt'' is a drip under pressure :biggrin::wink::biggrin:

Inconceivable!

Oh, and by the way, consider me conned!
