A hot day in the garage....just one pen

[SDB777]

Even with the air conditioner running in the garage(wife has a portable unit that vents out the garage door), it still is kind of hot. Got it from a humid/hot 56%/95*F-heat index of 106*F, down to 88*F!!
Anyway, no one cares if I was trying to keep from melting.....


Made one! I know, kind of weird for me, but it is what it is. Herre is a piece of timber from a trade with someone probably a couple years back, and I just don't remember whom to give the credit to....sorry. Even with the use of HDR, it's hard to get into the swirly grain in the darker areas.....it's really there.

Buckeye Burl(naturally dark) on an Executive Clicker:





Considering I mowed and weedwhacked two yards, and then washed two vehicles, I think I deserve some rest! And maybe an adult beverage or six?

I don't have A/C in the gara..er, shop. Not looking forward to another sweating summer... Love the grain pattern in that buckeye. Beautiful pen.

Like the pen - BEB always looks good on the Long Clicker which really shows off the wood.
I have Stage 2 AC in my Studi../garage (two fans) out the open garage door. Cooled it down to right at 90 degrees today!!!

Nice pen! I like the kit & the wood. Is this kit the same as exoticblank's Clicker pen? I don't have AC, but my lathe is in the basement, so it is cooler.

I wish I had a basement....
The kit I use comes from David at www.timberbits.com His free shipping on $80+ orders and typically less then one week delivery is hard to beat, especially since his prices are geared towards 'savings'.

Now this is funny right here!!

I have a big fan to blow heat out, but when it gets humid and 'sticky' feeling the little AC unit gets rolled into action.

Nice looking pen Scott!

Thanks much!

Sweating is good if your exercising....well no, it's not even fun then!
It's a nice piece of timber.(might have to find some more)

Had a few of those adult bottles. I think I was the one that was 'burnt'.....

NIce looking work! PS............Got the package...thanks............Jan

Cool! Glad it got there pretty quickly....hope to see some turnings soon.

Got a 'portable A/C unit, but at 112*F heat index it ain't worth running it....better off staying inside! Got a hyper fan on top of the gun safe....again, why bother once the temps get that far out....
