Back over 10 years ago we were almost called by a different name. A fine gentleman by the name of Jeff Brown brought to light this thread.

I like to on occasion scan the threads that go back quite a ways and look through them and see the different ideas being pondered as this great forum took hold and led us to what it is today. Also to see once again the names that were significant back then. Miss many of those guys.
Within that thread is an ongoing thought that at times get smacked around here. That is the question of what is it that we do in a nutshell?? Are we pen turners, pen makers, pen crafters, pen artisans or some combination of all or none???
Whatever it is I am sure glad this place exists and continues to move ahead. We keep in the back of our minds the dedication of those that had the foresight to get this done and continue and to be led by that fine gentleman named Jeff Brown.
