I recently had quadruple bypass surgery and hadn't been in my workshop much for several years. I think I may been feeling bad and just didn't realize it. I just recently started feeling better and bought a lathe. I made the mistake of buying some pen kits, and it has all been an obsession since then. I have made probably a hundred in the last couple of months. I have gave most away and sold the rest for about what it takes me to buy the materials. Here is some pictures of my amatuer made pens.

:):) Yes, there is a Santa !!! Bless you for your kindness !!! Keep turning out those pens. I find I seldom have chest pain when i'm in my shop. It keeps the mind and hands busy, and makes the heart feel good when you see a smile on the receiver's face. Very nice pens !! Happy Holidays !!! Jim S

Thanks for the kind words Jim. I made 24 pens the day before Thanksgiving and gave them all out Thanksgiving day. It was great.
