Finally I got one finished without mishap. I know no pic no proof. I am waiting until I get the next two finished before pics.

CA is my new bestest buddy. My skew grabbed right at the end of flushing up the back bushing. It was a small grab. After I finished cussing I thought I might be able to save it with a CA fill and some super light passes with the offending skew. It worked. If you look real close, and I mean real close, you can see it, but if someone is that close to the pen they are picking thier nose with it. Two more to go before next Saturday.

If they pick your pen up off the table and put it in their nose...well let's just say the CA should have still been wet!



I can't help myself.....

I will probably get myself in trouble with this post, but I am kind of discouraged with all the pressure to post pics.

Not that I disagree with the basic point that having a pic is MUCH better. But what is so wrong with just coming on here to chew the fat, or gripe, or celebrate, before you have had a chance to take a pic?

I am starting to wonder if those who constantly harp for pics are interested in helping, or only interested in seeing pretty pics?

Nothing is wrong with not posting pics. I suspect that most people are commenting on them because the OP brought it up.

Roger, it is called Pen Porn, and we all like seeing Pen Porn.

Got the second one done with no problems at all. Either the planets aligned or this third one is going to explode as soon as I get even close to the final stage.

As for the the second one I am pretty proud of myself, because it is the first pen I have done solely on the wood late with hand tools. Usually I will do a large chunk of the work on the metal lathe because I know it will do a good job. No room for screw ups. Then I put it on the wood lathe to give it that personal touch. This one was total wood lathe and as soon as I relaxed the shavings flew. I looked like a PR fuzz ball by the time I was done.:biggrin: Happiness is being covered in shavings looking at a newly finished shiny pen.
