What can you get for 10 cigars......

[woodscavenger]

THIS!

My older HF lathe had some alignment problems and cold start problems. I sold my first 10 cigar pens to the local nurses at $35 each. You do the math and can see that when my I found out my local Klingspor had a 10% off sale.....well, I am now the proud owner of a QUIET, SMOOTH, Jet Mini VS. ARGHGHHH!!![^][^]

I think you will really like your choice in picking the jet. Sweet when they pay for themselves.

Congrats !!! Now, in memory of the 10 cigares, name the lathe !

 

[KKingery]

[woodscavenger]

Forever more ye shall be known as "El Cubano"

Way to GO!!! Mine was paid for the same way and feels SOOOOOO good.

Congrats.

That's how I paid for mine as well. I am going to be starting bowls in the next week or two. I'm hoping these will pay for a new Bigger lathe for me. I currently have 2 lathes, a mini and a 12" Craftsman. The craftsman was my fathers and I got it when he passed away in 1997. I am now wanting althe that will turn at least a 20" bowl.

I'll be a happy camper when my pens pay for my lathe. []

I'm in the process of saving up for a new TS, the motor in mine fried, and it's about time for a TS upgrade anyway!!

Good for you buddy!

Very satisfying to know that you "earned" this one.
I hope it gives you many years of great service.

 

[rtgleck]

I am getting closer to having my lathe paid for with the few I have sold. Its the rest of the stuff that is slowing me down.....you know kits, blanks, etc. I figure when I get to 250 pens sold I should be close to even. []

 

[woodscavenger]

Yes that is where Bryan lives...I mean works. I just saw him tonight. I was killing time waiting for my family to meet me at a restuarant. Did you see the cocobolo they got? Nice shorts, from 0.2-0.5 bf with some really nice colors. I picked up a couple of nice pieces. You can see one of the pens in my album.

Are you going to be at the demo on Saturday?

 

[Jake Byrd]

Yep, I bought a piece of the cocobolo and turned a modified slimline out of one of the blanks. I will try to make it to the demo on Saturday. I hope to see you there.

It willbe nice to sell my pens to pay for my lathe. But I have one question, if it took 10 cigar pens to pay for your lathe, how many is it going to take to pay for the $8000.00 storage building I just had built for the lathe?

Lots of cigars, but only a few pens if you can pull off the extraordinary artistic ability and craftsmanship of Bruce Boone and his titanium super pen!
