GET A BIGGER #$*^ING HAMMER
So, I was all excited about getting a gouge today. 8 tools for 15 bucks at HF. These are the same tools I've been using for a little over a year, and I just sharpened my 3/4 inch spindle gouge to death. I dug this blank out of a box I got from the Blank Fairy, and it had a note to reverse paint white or my children and all generations after them for 1,000 years will be cursed with continually wet laundry and other minor inconveniences. I have had REALLY hit or miss luck with reverse paint, so I used pre-painted white tubes for the same effect. I got it finished, and went to assemble, and the transmission jammed and bent out of shape. I went to the chunk of leather and the bench vise, and proceeded to hammer on a transfer punch and got nowhere. I put it aside as I was about to instant-clean the tube on my concrete floor, but it was too awesome of a blank to kill like that. I went and got my biggetst framing hammer and went back down. 3 minutes later I had a finished and assembled pen, and I hope the Blank Fairy approves of the results.
