Try being maried to a middle school English Teacher, I have been informed that I haven't conjegated a verb correctly in 11 years. Good think she does not know about this site, I would be in trouble for all the stuff I say and misspell.

Thank you

The pen looks pretty well done, although straight B2B slimlines don't have much appeal for me. One thing, please post your future pens in "Show Off Your Pens." This is where we talk about making pens as opposed to showing what we did.

Hi Ken,
Welcome aboard. The addiction is strong but with the support of the other members you can survive, I dare say Flourish.[]

Ken, don't be offended by our teasing. We all get it some time. We are just messing around. Consider a friendly welcome.
Welcome and please feel free to ask any questions you may have. And of course, show us some more of your work.

Hi Ken I'm happy to report its been over two weeks since I have made a pen! I would be going through serious withdrawals, if it was not for the platter, long stem goblets, and about 15 or so bowls I have made in the last few weeks. Going to start some bottle stoppers and segmented bowls soon

Welcome!

Just remember, as a penturner, you can proudly exclaim,

I cut corners

OK I had that coming, and bitshird is spelled correctly, yes it is an anagram which means precisely what it implies! It is a moniker I bear proudly; it was given to me by a former mentor, a Chief Petty Officer, under whom I served for 2 years.
Being a machinist, I don’t get offended easily.(yeah right)
Thanks for the warm reception, however, part of the problem really actually was the batteries in my keyboard passing into oblivion, Plus fat fingers and excitement didn’t help, I’ll do my best to keep within the bounds of proper English and grammar, considering I live in rural Tennessee, thatns gonna be sumwhut difikult
