It came through after I posted above. Sometimes it seems my emails are delayed several hours.

 

[firewhatfire]

Whew,

I was worried there for a bit.

Does that put me in the top 25?

Working on another...had the last one done yesterday and was assembling..did anyone hear the buffalo horn crack? Or did anyone hear the aw shucks afterward??:wink:..next one will NOT be horn:frown:

 

[Ed McDonnell]

I thought you would have a lot more entries to this contest by now. I was under the impression that there are lot of horny pen turners in the IAP.:wink:

I had planned to enter using a pen made from some Skunk Ape horn. It's proving harder to acquire than I had first expected. It's been so warm down here this winter that the Skunk Apes aren't migrating closer to the urban areas and are remaining well out in the Glades.

I might have to switch to bone. I had ribs for dinner the other night, so I have a good supply of bone available (assuming I act before the trash gets picked up).

I better get to work.

[mredburn]

I hope you clean the barbecue sauce off before you take the picture.

Thats both you and the pen:biggrin:

 

[mredburn]

I once tried to turn a horn. Unfortunatly the steer it was attached to didnt want to cooperate and let me know it.

 

[Ed McDonnell]

I just found a blank in my stash that is labelled "Horn". Is there a test I can do that will tell me if it is real horn? Stick a red hot nail in it or something?

Ed

Who, never understanding how painting your nails hot red would help in anyway determining if horn was real, is nevertheless willing to try anything.....

You stick to harassing the slimline thread! Don't get distracted by making pens. ;-)

That's the

4th Annual Russ Fairfield Memorial Modified Slimline Contest Generously Sponsored by: Brooks Blanks

we are talking about, for those wondering what the heck Dan is talking about (couldn't resist shameless plug opportunity).

Here's a thought. How about everybody who entered a pen in the 4ARFMMSC (you know that really long name contest in red above) now taking all the skills you refreshed / mastered and entering in this contest.

But only if that's OK with Monty. And only if you follow his rules.

[mredburn]

BAD- BAD- Chairperson! Back to your own thread you Hijacking pen thread monster you. Trying to drum up business in another contests thread.. Why you would never catch me trying to shamelessly steerrolleyes a member from this contest to the Advanced Beautiful Pen contest sponsered by Exotic Blanks . Why that would be unethical! SHame, I say shame on you............................:biggrin:

 

[Buzzzz4]

You could also cast the shavings from this contest and enter the Embedded contest! Since we're plugging other contests

must have a he() of a lathe...did you try to turn him between centers or get a couple railroad car wheels for bushings?:tongue:

 

[mredburn]

I beg to differ I was definitely showing how I would never plug my contest in that manor.

How ever I may wander over to your contest as see whom I can steal

 

[D.Oliver]

Hey guys I just came over from the Daily Trivia Contest. I got to say I'm disappointed in the behavior over here; shamelessly plugging contest and such.

 

[mredburn]

Hey no Fair! You used a link. (wish I had thought of that!)

 

[Monty]

We now have 8 entries. Let's keep 'em coming.

 

[Ed McDonnell]

8 entries is pretty respectable. But I'll bet you get more before the deadline.

Sadly, you won't be getting an entry from me. It is too cold to have the shop (aka garage) door open. That horn stuff stinks when you work it!!! My wife threatened to invite her sister (the one I really dislike) to visit for a couple of weeks if I kept stinking up the house.

I'm not taking any chances with that threat hanging over my head. The semi worked horn went back into my blank stash to wait for another day.

[hard hat]

I've got mine almost ready to turn. Just might be done today as long as I don't break it

 

[Falcon1220]

I am trying to submit my entry but get an error:
Can someone tell me if it is IAP or on my side that the problem is???

[Falcon1220]

Ignore my previous post. Had to re-size my photo's then it worked.

 

[Mike Powell]

I only had the picture I took of my pen on my phone, that I took when I made it so I could send it to Dad. Its not the best, but I wanted to play. Win lose or draw, I was part of it this year.

 

[Ambidex]

We now have 8 entries. Let's keep 'em coming.
