Dec. Pen Swap Sign-ups

[GaryMGg]

It's been a while since I've made something -- count me in please.

 

[mark james]

Sign me up coach!

 

[mlconnelly]

Sounds like fun, I'm in.

 

[wwneko]

I'm in. Construction, this is going to be challenging.

 

[tclan5]

I'm in.

 

[Scotty]

Count me in. Thanks.

 

[mredburn]

Can you say Bolt Pens!

So, I stop by IAP to see what's going on and I notice that I have a Private Message. How exciting!!!

Imagine my [strike] disappointment [/strike] pleasant surprise when I find out that I have received a message from Derek. Well, not really a message...more of a rant that seemed to imply in part that I have never actually made a pen and that I only post photoshopped pictures of other peoples pens that I call my own. His diatribe was laced with taunts daring me to produce a pen and send it to someone to prove that it actually exists. Conveniently he had organized a swap to facilitate this.

If I just agree to participate in the swap under these conditions, who knows what kind of demands / abuse he will heap on me the next time. So, I will agree to participate if Derek meets my terms, which are:

"In addition to me being matched up with a randomly determined member, Derek will agree that he and I will also swap pens (and ornaments should he choose)." If Derek accepts the terms then I am in. Are you man enough Derek? :biggrin:

In an earlier post Derek asked for teaser photos of ornaments. I didn't see anybody post one, so maybe this will break the ice. It's all wood that has been embellished to look like aged copper. The ball is hollow and the whole thing weighs about 3/4 of an ounce. It's 8" long. The ball is a little over 2" diameter. I probably won't be sending one like this for the swap because it likely wouldn't fit in the box I would use for a pen. But maybe something else will.

You're on. I think I could make you a matching pen to the one I made for Mredburn duing the extravaganza. :biggrin:

 

[mredburn]

Im not sure your skills are up to it Derek. It would be hard to top that wonderful entry.

 

[Cmiles1985]

Sign me up!

 

[D.Oliver]

I'm in. I'm just going to glue a pen blank to a Christmas ornament in the shape of a bulldozer and call it good.

Ty I know its been a while for you so here's a link to help you remember the steps.........

That's got to be on the best hand made ornaments I've ever seen!

That explains the flat spot on my forehead...:biggrin:

 

[Davej_07]

Count me in......

Count me in as well... these PITH's have certainly kick started my creative juices!

 

[Hubert H]

I would like to join in also.

Hubert

 

[jeffreybrown18]

I'm in

 

[jondavidj]

Please sign me up as well.

 

[Joe S.]

I'll enter if I can get my pen done or mostly done before the sign-up deadline. Stay tuned!

 

[BayouPenturner]

Sorry that not willing to ship overseas limits the number of participants. Good luch Andy happy turning

 

[Gregf]

I'm going to overcome my fears and phobias and join my first pen swap.

I'm in.

Greg

 

[truckfixr]

I'd like to join in on the fun.

 

[Gregf]

I especially like this theme, since corian fits in
I'm in a corian phase right now. I have my pen done.

 

[Buzzzz4]

I will take part with my daughter, Katie if that's ok. She has been begging to make a pen. I mentioned it to her, and she said, "what can we do with nails, daddy?" This sounds like a great reason to get out to dad's shop. We will be doing just one pen so the PITH we get will go to her. The ornament will be with my other daughter, Olivia and the ornament received will go to her. We can ship internationally!

 

[StuartCovey]

I'm in!

First time I'm doing one of these!

 

[lorbay]

Sign me up please.
Lin.

 

[jsolie]

I'll give it a shot!

I've never turned an ornament before, so I want to apologize ahead of time to whomever my partner is that the ornament may more closely resemble what Charlie Brown got in his Halloween goodie bag. Or possibly his Christmas tree if it turns out okay... :biggrin:

 

[ladycop322]

Merry Christmas (a little early!)

I'M IN....COUNT ME IN...COUNT ME IN.....LOL

[Edgar]

Sign me up - I tripped over an old chunk of concrete this weekend, so this'll give me a good way to get rid of it. My apologies in advance if the ornament causes someone's tree to tilt.

 

[LJPJ]

What the hey, I'll give it a whirl. I just want to be up front apologize to whoever gets mine. It's almost impossible for me to think outside of the box.

 

[mredburn]

I think buying an ornament and gluing some cut off on it counts.

 

[Edgar]

I think buying an ornament and gluing some cut off on it counts.

I sure hope so - I was just planning to glue a ball ornament onto that chunk of concrete I tripped over.

 

[Trey]

OH what the hell. Sign me up. I will give it a try. I too apologize in advance for the newbie nature of my offerings.

 

[alankulwicki7]

I'm in. I have an idea or two so count me in...

 

[Ed McDonnell]

Here's a picture of some of the high quality components that I will be using in the creation of my pens for this swap. Unfortunately the special material I ordered from South Dakota for Derek's swap pen is stuck in a snow drift somewhere and won't be available until the Spring Thaw (sometime next July I imagine). So I'm going to make two of the same pen using some of what's in the picture. That's either going to be good news for Derek or bad news for my official swap partner.....
