Not a pen but I wanted to share

Hi Mark:

Beautiful table and an excellent short UTube.

For a penturner, the table is a "must Have."

Thanks for sharing!

Well done Mark. You've given us something to do with all those blanks which are taking up space in our shop!

Very cool

 

[markspens]

Thanks for the kind words folks.

Excellent, what a table, think what someone will say in 20 to 40 years on Antique Road Show.

That is an awesome use of scrap wood. I agree with your comment about how the purpleheart just pops. Looks like a butcher block cutting board but with a lot more pizzaz.
Cheers

Hey .... wonder if they need a traveling table for the IAP collection? This thing just screams "ONE OF A KIND!" don't it?

Loved the table Mark. I showed my wife dang it. Now she wants one ... :redface:

 

[stonepecker]

Great idea Mark and really well made. I think I like the sizing difference the best. Looks kind of like a puzzle without the picture.

Love the finished work.

Did you make the base as well? Very nice.

That's really cool! I like how you beveled the edge,looks really custom.

That would be a real conversation piece...it would be a shame to set something on top of it!

Or worse ... You could set a segmented pen blank or two on top of it and totally lose them!

I did Jeff, I just grabbed some 1" aluminum and tried my hand at brazing. Not bad for my 2nd try at it.

newbie mistake!

It is OK, you will learn, NEVER NEVER NEVER show your wife anything,
1. you want to sell.
2. you like but don't have time to make, or
3. That you want to keep for yourself.

I have lost to many pens to mother and wife over the years.:biggrin:

Wow that looks amazing.. My wife told me yesterday she wants a new table for her office/craft room. I'll make sure she doesn't see this!

 

[woodturningtx]

And yes a must have for a pen turner lol
