Ready to turn again-31 pens

[yorkie]

I turned so many pens in Q4 last year that I got burned out. After about 6 weeks I think I'm ready to make some new ones.

Here are the 31 I've got ready. All cut, drilled, tubed and milled. Ready to be thrown on the lathe and get cooking.

I guess we will be seeing quite a few pictures from you very soon.

You'll have a great collection of pen's. I need to find out what kind of lathe you have, I can cook on mine.

Lets see..tomorrow is Monday. You going to have those all done by Thursday? (that smiley at the top was supposed to be down here)

Are these orders or for your inventory? Quite a few styles there.

Keep us posted with pics.

Yeah. Is there some new BBQ attachment out there?

Wow Stephen! When I grow up, I want to be that organized :biggrin: As soon as the glue is dry, I start turning.

I use a Jet 1221VS. It's a really solid lathe. I also just bought a Nova, but I haven't turned on it yet. Looking forward to seeing how it does with a pen.

These are just for the fun of it, and to top up my inventory with some fresh pens. Also, lots of newly acquired blanks I wanted to try and the new pen kits from PSI: nights/Celtic/Victorian/Spartan. Mainly...just for the fun of it.

I think my favorite part is planning out which woods and which kits I want to use. I always start off thinking I'm going to make ten or 20 and then I see woods I'd forgotten about and before you know it, I'm up to 30 or more.

The most I've planned out in one go is 60. That was last Q4 and I got burned out. I also had an order for 42 full size Statesmans at the same time, all the same wood too. So, making 42 pens, all the same, will get old.

But... If I did it this way, my wife would realize precisely how much money I'm spending on pen kits and blanks!

Can't have that.

I have tried medium-rare on my lathe but it always comes up well done! Looks great have fun!
