Don't get in a hurry to

[Band Saw Box]

I guess it must have been everything that has gone on this month that caused me to miss the Summer Extravaganza was going on until yesterday. So in a hurry to get an entry in the Rollerball / Fountain Pen contest I cut, drilled and tubed two lower barrels. I started then got called away setting up my surgery date, I thought I had drilled the upper tube since that bit was in the chuck. Oh well there alway another contest. What did I learn don't get in a hurry just to enter a contest. It may be a good thing since the pen I was making would have been soooooo stunning as to over shadow all the other entries. :biggrin:

That is a relief Dan... We were sweating it for a while

I bet you could still drill out the brass tube for the cap. Might be worth a shot if you still have time!

Please, please...find a way to complete that pen. I wait in eager anticipation to witness "overshadowment" of all others. I am almost to the point of PIP, sitting here waiting.:tongue:

I know the anticipation is killing me!

 

[mredburn]

Ummm you do have until August 18th to get a pen in.

Drilling out the brass tube sounds like good idea, I may try that. But if I do and enter the pen.

 

[Joe S.]

Bring it on, I'm not scared!

 

[Band Saw Box]

Oh really Joe....if I do go ahead you'll be doing just what your avatar is doing as fast as you can.:biggrin::biggrin:

 

[Joe S.]

Really, I'm not *gulp* s-s-s-cared of a little pen. That would be silly! *Pauses* *Looks over shoulder* *Gulps* *Sprints to safety*.
