Pen Swap?

[Blind_Squirrel]

My idea is not a PITH swap, but an actual pen swap (A makes for B, B makes for A).

If there is enough interest I would be willing to run it.

 

[GaryMGg]

Scott,
what's yer plan? Pick names randomly a pair at a time?

 

[Blind_Squirrel]

Either a total random Match A to B or if we come out with an even enough mix and the majority agrees, match a "seasoned" maker with a newer maker.

seasoned = 100+ pens
newer = < 100 pens

I would be interested, but when did we do the PITH and when is it up agian??

I don't recall. That is why I started the poll.

Sorry, but what's PITH?

Pen In The Hat
You volunteer to make a pen "and put it in the proverbial hat". The PITH Mistress [] matches you at random with another member to receive your pen. Therefor you send a pen to someone and receive a pen from someone.

Here are pics from the last PITH

Sounds like a great idea! Put me down for under 100.

 

[exoticwo]

Scott,
Please add me to the over 100 list.
Thanks,

 

[IPD_Mrs]

You can add me to the under 100. What would make this even more of a learning process for us new guys is to have the experienced turner critique the work to help us out down the road.

 

[ericw95]

Add me to the under 100 list

 

[Texatdurango]

Sounds interesting, put me down in the rookie division.

If I might make a suggestion, change the numbers from a rookie to seasoned. I've made over 100 pens in the 7 months I have been turning but don't feel any where near seasoned.

I also like MLKWoodWorking's idea of a veteran turner actually getting our pens and giving some feedback.

[CaptG]

Sounds fun, put me in the over 100 list.

 

[ashaw]

Put me down over 100 list

 

[txbatons]

Under for me, please. I'd love to get positive and critical feedback.

 

[dalemcginnis]

Add me to the under list.

 

[pentex]

Add me to the under list.

 

[barkisini]

Amen to what MLK and Tex said.

I would be down for the under 100 "got a lot to learn" category.

Thanks,

John B.

 

[GaryMGg]

Put me in the "don't know squat" category, way, way below those guys with 100 pens.

 

[CSue]

Okay. I think I still belong in the rookie division, too. Put me down for under 100.

 

[skiprat]

Sounds like fun to me. I don't know or care what list I belong to, but I'm keen. Will this be stock standard B2B's []or can we be creative?[]

 

[cigarman]

Put me in at over 100.(you did mean age didn't you [])

 

[jtate]

Put me down for the over 100 list.

I like the PITH protocol pretty well too. That was fun.

And, if ANY penturner wants my advice - FWIW - please feel free to send your pens to me and I'll tell you what I think of them. (Keep in mind that I like fountain pens. )

Heck, I'll even send them back to you in a week or two.

Julia

Feel free to do the voodoo that you do so well! []

BUT by the time I make one pen worth giving to someone here, it will be well over 100 pens....... [] []
