Yoyospin

[arioux]

Hi,

I just finish to go thru Yoyospin (Ed Davidson) photo album and i'm all depressed[V]. I think i'll sell everything and go back to bowling.

Seriously, whoever need idea for new things to try, go there.

Imagination an creativity at it's best. Plus his willing to share his technics and knowledge make him a great plus for the pen turner community. If there was to be a IAP hall of fame, people like Ed, Russ and few more would have my vote.

I just had to say it bacause we never take anought time to say thanks.

Thanks Ed.

Alfred

Very true, Ed's album is a like an inspirational book and I've been there twice. Just putting all those pics up on there for us to look at is awesome.

I agree about Ed`s work, but there is a LOT of tallented penmakers involved in this group![]

I also take a lot of inspiration from members here. But I try not to get depressed because their pens are better than mine. I take it as a goal to make as I learn diffrent techniques for making my pens. I've learned a lot, my pens are getting better and more creative. But it is hard to continue, sometimes, when you see beautiful pens made from garage scraps. []

i agree with mark and steve, i thought mine was good, but after being a member on iap i soon realised they were crap, in the couple of weeks here they are 10 times better, and getting better all the time. so ED , RUSS and the rest of I A P members i salute YOU ALL. regards colin.

Ha Ha! Nice! I was literally just about to make a similar post. Ed, I like your style. It kind of snuck up on me though. I was focused on turning bushing to bushing, then one day, I thought, "You know, Yoyospin's pens are pretty cool. Maybe I'll try something like that." Boy am I glad I came around.

You know, I guess I have a different reaction. I'm not nearly at that level yet, but it's something that I can aspire to, and in time I'm confident in my own abilities and I think I might be able to match that level of craftsmanship. Maybe not, but I don't think it's impossible...

Since I joined this forum each pen I turn gets better than the last.
This is like studying at the guru's feet.Everybody shares the knowledge freely. This board rocks.
