On my summer vacation.
For the last two days I have had the pleasure of being in the company of one of the most generous ,caring, thoughtful individuals I have met in my 71 years of life. Eagle sold a pen at the Washington pen show with this pattern for $400.00 and was going to make a blank to replace the pen. It took the better part of the day to complete this blank between explaining how he did things and why he did them the way he did. I know Eagle has been asked many times to write a tutorial on some of his creations. The reason why he hasn't is because there is no way to put into words what I whitnessed what this genius did with common tools that the most basic woodworker would have in his shop and in many cases far less.
The degree of accuracy he strives for and achieves would put a CNC router owner to shame and yet he does it with basic tools. When he finished this blank he gave it to me and said. It's just like the Jay Lenno Lays potato chip commercial.
"Don't worry, Ill make more"
It's too bad he can't post here anymore.
