First, let me apologize for what must seem like begging. I will just put it all on the line here. I work in maintenance in a resort town in a resort that is over 1/4 mile long. I am 58. It is very hard and physical work. All I have ever known is work and my body is just getting worn out. I don't see that disability as being that far off for me. Trying to get prepared for that. I have a Harbor Freight Lathe that I have made 5 pens with so far. Slimline pens but they turned out pretty nice. Just seems something I am good at and enjoy. I think I have found an unique niche market for pens where I might be able to sell 4 or 5 a week for maybe $35. Maybe more if it works out. That would supplement my income a lot. So, what do I need. I need inexpensive pen blanks, decent but not fancy. I will pay for them, I just cannot pay a lot. Somehow I have to buy a carbide chisel. I guess I am saying if you have things laying around that you will never use then sell them to me for a decent price and help me out.
