It's not quite that bad. The box started on 6/2, so it's just a few days over 4 months & the trips through Australia & Canada for the first 3 people ate up a full month.

Boxes 1 & 2 took right at 4 months to complete, so when you factor in the foreign element, you would expect #3 to complete in about 5 months. We still have 10 stops to go, so it might run a little longer, but hopefully not much.

That being said, it has been hung up for over a week now. I'm trying to contact Scott (Electricalme) for an update.

I just heard from Scott (Electricalme). He's had some personal issues to deal with this past week, but the box will be on its way to Jsolie tomorrow.

The box showed up yesterday!

Lots of goodies to choose from: And this is NOT all that was in the box!

I'm not yet sure what my selections will be. One thing that was kind of surprising was that the Parker-based ball point was AWOL, so it must have leaped out at some point. I'll get that one going again because I thought it was a cool idea. :smile:

I've already missed the mail deadline for today, but I'll try to get it in the post office's drop box today still. I'll update if I'm not able to. My wife and I are getting ready for a short trip out of town this week and that's got things at a higher state of busy than normal.
 
Just got it!

I received box #3 today. Here are a couple of pics of the contents. I'll take some out tomorrow, add my contribution, and will send it on by Saturday. Recent eye surgery will keep me out of the shop till Monday. I'll post some pics when I'm done.

Edgar, thanks for doing this!

Can I have it again?!

I know that we have been thru this a few months ago; but, I would love to see the box again - send it to me. I was number #13 and lot has happened to the content.


Oh well, I understand that it cannot.:frown:
 
I have noticed some small stones in small packets in some boxes shown in the thread. I only have been turning for a little more than a year and half so I apologize for me ignorance. Do you use them to make your own blanks? That's my next project to try.

The stone is for inlay/infill. You crush it and use it to fill holes, cracks and voids in the pens.

Does anyone know who put the piece of wood from the Presidio in the box? I was courious if they knew where it came from with in the Presidio (i.e. hospital, mess hall etc.) and any other information available.
