My Ship came in!!!!!!!!!!

[ed4copies]

This is what a few hundred pens look like, when I first see them!

Blanks will be available SOON! As you may guess, I have a couple dollars to recover!!!

Thought you might be interested.

 

[JimGo]

NICE! I'll take one of each! LOL

How thick are those flat pieces?

 

[btboone]

Hi Ed, I would certainly be interested in extra width blanks (maybe something like 1.25")on some of the fancier stuff. When you get a chance to show what you have, I'll be sure to watch for it.

 

[Dario]

He-he-he How many copiers you have there???!!!

Nice gloat...wrong forum []

 

[ed4copies]

Jimgo,

They run 18 to 20mm, generally.

 

[ed4copies]

Dario,

I thought about that, but I am SHOWING OFF my pens.....and some other people's pens. Don't worry, you'll see them again in a more familiar pen form.[][][][]

Seriously, if a moderator feels compelled to move it, I will live through it, but I thought more people would be interested in what they look like when we receive the shipment.

There are 8 copiers there, but you only see the one that is buried-a Konica 7155 console, for anyone looking for a copier deal.

I totaly understand...just want to mess with you a bit (in a good way) LOL

I too see the few 100 pens you're talking about.

 

[JimGo]

I too look forward to seeing the "detailed" pics!

 

[ilikewood]

Sorry, I just don't see the pens. [}][]

I am just a wood guy at heart (it is hard to beat nature in it's beauty). It doesn't matter how good the artificial material...I would always prefer wood IMHO.

 

[ed4copies]

In the words of that great philosopher, YoYoSpin:
Wood is good, plastic is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

But, you can't beat a nice wood peppermill!!

 

[gerryr]

I want some of that third one.[]

 

[wdcav1952]

Ed,

Tell me when Lou's Mom says I can order! [][]

 

[ilikewood]

You Ed's must be cast from a different material than us nature boys![]

 

[Ron Mc]

Ed,
Any chance of getting a jumbo blank cut off of one of the copiers! I've never tried it![]
Lookin good Ed.

 

[ed4copies]

Ron,

Console copiers go for about $50 a pound-tell me which part you'd like, we can swing a deal!!!!

(500 pound copier IS about $25000)

 

[PenWorks]

$$$ [:0] $$$$ [:0] $$$$ [] $$$$$ []

Do you guys know how to find the back of an Holly tree?

Look for the Holly crap....that's the back! []

[johncrane]

[jahlg]

Yeah Ed, when are the close-ups coming????

 

[ed4copies]

JimGo,

Friendly reminder: I take weekends OFF!!! I am at home, cutting up BIG sheets and making pens to show off!!! Some pictures will be up later today-we will start with the pearls-they are really pearly!!

The pearly material is used by Italian penmakers, it has the characteristics of acrylic and a slight smell of celluloid. Turns like the acrylic acetates that are available in USA.

Pah. Weekends are overrated! []

Hey, at least we're all excited to see the new stuff!!!

 

[emackrell]

"Weekends OFF" ?

penturning is what I DO on weekends off!

At least until they let me set up a lathe in the Pentagon.....

cheers Eileen

 

[ed4copies]

Clarification:

Weekends and evenings I am at home - Home, as they say is where the heart, I mean lathe, is!!!

I do not have internet connection at the house, so I can turn, turn, turn without being tempted to be HERE!!!!

Pictures are taken, and yes, JimGo, I am THRILLED there is interest-as you may have guessed I have a couple bucks tied up in this project. I'd like to start replenishing.

THANKS to one and all for your comments-and to those who would like slabs, best e-mail me QUICKLY!! Some blanks were cut over the weekend, but I left slabs available, just in case.
