Best of IAP Contest

[mredburn]

Besides we understand that it was decided to do in short order and its a begining. Im pretty sure that catagories will change or be redifined. That rules can be fine tuned if needed etc. I think its a great start and would like to see it continue as an annual event.

And also, a wood pen might win!! That was only one mans opinion that (most likely) a wooden pen wont win. I have seen some amazing wood pens on here that i think could easily win a contest, as the categories stand, so im not going to rule any pen out of any category, even the kitless and casting

 

[JerrySambrook]

Actually, there is more than one person who has asked that question apparently.
I just happened to ask in public

 

[Timebandit]

I wasnt refering to the question, i just think there are a lot of people on here that make great wooden pens, kitless as well, and i think they stand as much a chance as any other pens. Some here dont make acrylic pens, and I just dont want anyone who is just making a wooden pen to be discouraged and think that there wooden pen doesnt stand a chance. We need everyone to enter. We all have a chance. We also dont know exactly what the judges are looking for. Come on guys, make those pens.:biggrin:

I for one will be very happy if a wood pen wins something. Particularly the one I entered.

 

[mredburn]

I will be happy if they dont laugh at mine.

Don't worry Bruce, I left the door for 2nd place wide open.

 

[GoodTurns]

well, that was fun! spent a good piece of the weekend in the shop working on a really cool idea, got through almost all of the steps and managed what I believe the kids today call an "epic fail" :biggrin: Had a great time and still have a great idea...maybe even have a winner....for next year! Good luck to everyone who is participating, I look forward to your successes!

 

[seamus7227]

Jon, sorry to hear of this. If it makes you feel better, I used one of your clips on my entry. :biggrin: We'll both be winners!

Good going Seamus! Good luck!

 

[Displaced Canadian]

For this week I have had the anti-midas touch. Every pen I touch turns to :frown: As soon as this passes I'm going to start on my pen for next year.

 

[mredburn]

Like Bruce I would like to wish all the entrants in my catagory good luck. Looks like it will be a great compitition.

 

[seamus7227]

[/QUOTE]

just remember me in your acceptance speech! I made three...not one, not two, but three blanks to work with and managed a different "fail" on each of them!...the base layer was a label cast...I've done dozens...and one of them bubbled, one silvered, the 3rd escaped the mold and was not re-castable due to the goodies in the casting mix....c'est la vie! I do have "proof of concept" and will definitely pursue this pen!

 

[mredburn]

Good luck to all that entered. And Scott...... Thank you for doing this.

So....with most of the entries in.....when will everyone start posting what they entered. According to the rules we can post after 9/21...right?

Let's all post in the same thread...maybe call it Best of IAP Entries in SOYP???

Im thinking more along the lines of a Sticky in the SOYP that all of our entries go into. So we post it in SOYP but it goes into the Stickey, so that we dont get 150 pens being shown all in one thread, and thousands of comments about them. I would like to show multiple pictures and comment on everyones great work and if everyone does that we could end up with a 1000 page thread, and everyone would have to go through all of the pages just to see all of the pens. I think this would be more effective.

 

[seamus7227]

Ah, what the heck, here is one of mine::::::biggrin::biggrin:

PYSCH!!!

 

[Phunky_2003]

I didn't photo mine. Knew I forgot something...

 

[seamus7227]

I didn't photo mine. Knew I forgot something...

Heck, i didnt either, cuz i figured they would do it for me:biggrin:

 

[mredburn]

I will be glad to lend you guys some photos of my old work if that would help a guy out.:biggrin:

 

[D.Oliver]

Heck, i didnt either, cuz i figured they would do it for me:biggrin:

I think once they realize you scrolled a 1933 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coin for your pen the only picture being taken will be a mugshot!

LOL!!.......I just took pictures in case there pictures of MY "PENSSS" werent good enough for the magazine!!!:wink::biggrin:

 

[Scott]

Mine went out FedEx today also. USPS also told me their express overnight is 2 day to Idaho.

It takes extra time to load the mail on the mules and bring it over the mountains!

Yes, after 9/21 you can post pictures! And I also think one thread stickied for that purpose on SOYP would be perfect!

The entries are pouring in now. There are some exciting pens being entered! The judges will have their work cut out for them!

Scott.

 

[mredburn]

Scott would you let us know how many members entered and how many entries you recieved.

 

[Buzzzz4]

Woohoo! Fedex says my package is at Scott's door. Knock Knock your winner is here!

 

[mredburn]

He dont have no more room for winners. He has all he can take. YOURS is late it will have to stand behind the other winners and look sad..... :frown:

On another note my dad walked in and asked if I had won yet...

 

[Buzzzz4]

No, no, not late. Fashionably ontime like all winners :biggrin:
