Casting.

[mredburn]

Since we are starting out this year casting is only one contest. I am open to defining the contest as we need to. It could easily be "you have to have cast the blank" as the only rule. All embeded, tube on, color casts are lumped into one catagory. Or we can specify one type and rotate it or keep it each year.

I'm for rotating each year.

I would include to the rule "blank maker and pen maker must be the same person!"

If we limit to one type, will that exclude some possible entries?

Is polymer clay considered a cast?

I like the caster must be the turner requirement.

PC , I dont consider casting. By choosing one type you eliminate types of entries and Maybe some people that would not do that kind. I believe that if they want to play the will try and make a pen regardless.
"You must make the blank and the pen you submit" although I think under the general rules we should have the statement "you must have made the pen you submit to the contest."
