STOLEN PEN!

[BradG]

Mysteriously the article pictured below disappeared shortly after a photoshoot.

I have a prime suspect, which is SWMBO.... i shall check her bag in the morning

 

[ToddMR]

Nice pen. I can see why it is missing. Remember, Resizing is your friend.

 

[RSidetrack]

Wow very nice - I wish I could admit to stealing it! Hopefully you can track it down :biggrin:

 

[MarkD]

I could see how that might get stolen! :biggrin:
Very nice!

 

[The Penguin]

is that a Brooks blank?

very nice!

 

[Andrew_K99]

A little too much gold for my liking but that blank is gorgeous.

[BradG]

indeed it is a brooks blank

One must remember that a wife does not steal, they take what you were going to give them anyway.

Nice pen by the way.

hm. falls under the same category as comments such as:
"go ahead"
"i dont mind at all"
"thats fine - aka fine"

 

[Lenny]

For a criminal she has good taste!

Glad you said that Brad! It's a beautiful job!! I got so sick of gold that I refused to use gold for about 3 years when Ti plating came out! Started using gold from time to time now, but only carefully!

 

[BradG]

I actually purchased the gold kit to pinch the chrome centreband from it and finial as you can see this one has a gold band and finial which has been removed from a chrome kit. as for the pen from the chrome kit, that'l be appearing over the next few days with a bit of luck. excited to make this one

 

[Ironwood]

Beautiful pen, my wife would steal that one as well.

I think it is known as " relocation of family assets "

 

[Brooks803]

Love it! My wife says she would have stolen it too. Atleast you had it long enough to snap a few pics of it!

 

[EarlD]

Sweet! Don't accuse her of stealing it. Just say you were thinking about her the whole time you were making it.

To the Contrary I'm a Gold person and I think it's AWESOME!!!

Chrome reminds me too much of rusty bumpers on automobiles from the past.

should have made a matching finial from the same material.

and I think someone has a tutorial on making centerbands too.

 

[BradG]

I know how to make centrebands, and there was not enough spare material to turn a finial.

 

[The Penguin]

bummer

 

[mredburn]

One cannot steal what one already owns. She simply retrieved her rightfull property

 

[drgoretex]

Beautiful pen!

+1 here. If you gotta lose the pen, get some 'points' while you're at it. Always need points...

:wink:
According to the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, a resident of your home has access to everything there, and cannot be charged with stealing an item from said residence.

I understand your feelings, just saying!

It is a beautiful pen! It might tempt even me!

 

[BradG]

Ahaaaaa but i am english, and an englishmans home is his castle, and people have been beheaded for less in castles! now to delete this post before swmbo highlights who actually wears the trousers.. enjoy the pen my dear

 

[PenPal]

Brad,

Impressive beautiful pen. Be careful delving into your wifes bag lost many a good friend who tried that, enjoyed the banter you generated.

Kind regards Peter.

 

[Dalecamino]

Another great looking pen Brad. If you don't mind, I'll hand a little praise to Jonathon as well. Nice work to both of you.

 

[Toni]

LOL!! I can totally see why she stole it!! I would too..

 

[thewishman]

That pen is worth purloining. She has good taste.

 

[Lenny]

I guess we should all be greatful that our wives ALLOW us to keep some of the pens we make! :biggrin:

 

[Brooks803]

Now that my wife has seen this I have to go make my own so she can steal it

 

[BradG]

oh she has you over a barrel there Jonathon :biggrin: though its your own fault for pouring beautiful blanks

I guess we should all be greatful that our wives ALLOW us to keep some of the pens we make! :biggrin:

yes... never display multiple pens to your wives and suggest they can only have one for work. you will receive the look of a startled rabbit in headlights.

Your quite the fiend for purple if i recall :wink:

Hi Peter, trust your keeping well? Yes if looks could kill... i am yet to discover a good enough excuse for delving into swmbo's bag.

 

[mikespenturningz]

Very nice. I have that exact same problem here. Funny how these things grow legs after you have turned them.

 

[cwolfs69]

nice pen and blank. i would suggest just putting this in the books as sample and go on down the road. might not want to be going into "wife's bag".

Sent from my Galaxi via forerunner

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the kind thoughts Wilma and I take it in turns to cycle from OK to well not.

She is half way with her chemo no 4 of 6 next Wednesday. We remain confident and calm.

This old age is not for the less valiant and we are grateful so far for our innings 75 and 77 not out, looking forward to the next test.

Going into the colder to winter here now after a real lot of rain.

Kind regards Peter.

My wife steals a different pen every day to match her outfit. Fortunately, she brings them back.

 

[BradG]

Hi Peter

My thoughts are with you and Wilma Please do let me know how it goes, though im confident things will go well for you both too

75 & 77, well you both have more than double on me at 28 - but im 7 months in to not smoking anymore and feel healthier for it! (go me :biggrin I took up snowboarding to get me out and about a bit more and gave me a good incentive to not be puffing cigarettes on the sides of pristine mountains. currently plannning my next couple of breaks

Be sure to stock up on logs... not just for the fire, but for turning into pens too :biggrin:
