Rebecca and Joshua great looking pens. I do have a question for you both are you making sure you keep them? My daughter makes sure hers is in a safe place....
Looks like the future of our hobby is secure. All winners so far.

These are some great looking pens. Very impressive efforts. It's going to be really hard to pick a favorite.

Just imagine how Rebecca and Johsua's parents feel. They will have to vote between their kids. LOL.... <<<<Insert talking smack joke about choosing which kid>>>
I am lucky only on of my kids entered!
Ed McDonnell

Wait a minute!!! You have more kids and they haven't entered!!! What's up with that? There has to be at least one more pen turner in your family.

She's 4, so it's a couple years away. The older one already had the bright idea of making her a shop. Part of my bench is now her desk.....

I hadn't thought about that part
. . . . And we have a 3rd that hasn't decided yet if he is going to make one. He prefers to turn "non-magical wands" since we can't find a reliable supply of unicorn hair or phoenix feathers.

Look on the bright side, at least you are not like one and he has to pick which kid he likes more. LMAO!!!!!! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
We have another great entry by a young man in the under 14 age group.
Mathew Johnson
Matthew did all the work on the pen including cutting the blank to size, gluing up the segmentation, drilling the hole, turning, finishing, buffing and assembling.
It was his first segmentation and first time turning aluminum.
The segment is made of Padauk, aluminum and corian
Great pen Mathew and good luck

Very impressive lists of firsts on that pen. First segmentation. First use of aluminum. I'm pretty sure it's not a first pen though. :wink:
Good job!!
Ed
Who barely knew how to use a pen when he was under 14, let alone make one....

He just started turning this year - and has turned less than 20 in total, including 10 for the service men!

Where are the 14-16 year olds? Tell them to stop texting and start turning.
Up next in the under 14 age group
Megan Newbern and a great pen!
Morgan Newbern's entry.. "this is the second one she did. I helped with the first and she didn't approve, said she had to do it all herself. She can turn a wood pen with no problem. Well the results of her first acrylic 100% by her is astounding .She had me scared to death she would get a catch and blow the blank up X2 since it is a double blank kit. Black chrome cigar kit."

Not a loser in the bunch so far, I just hope my over 70 pen looks as good.

These younguns are doing a fantastic job. Putting time in the shop and on the lathe is such a great choice, specially when you look at the other things they could focus on...
Well done all and a hoo rah to the parents who are teaching them.

Each and every one of these young turners should be very proud of their accomplishments. They are all winners!! I commend their parents for taking the time to introduce them to this fine hobby. And remember SAFETY FIRST!!
Next up another young Man for the under 14 age group
James Harrison.
"James was very excited to participate in this contest. This pen is the sixth pen he has made.
He selected a Chrome Vertex and the Indian Princess blank.
James drilled the blank and reversed painted the hole white. I glued in the tube and squared the blank for him.
I assisted James in turning the blank. James wet sanded with MM and I buffed the blank.
I assisted in the finial assembly of the pen."
Thats a great pen James good luck!

There are some nice pens here, Wow. I would hate to be a judge in this contest. Remember to teach your parents some of your new trade.
You will be one of the judges. Judging is done by voting poll of the membership.

Wow, these are great. Each and everyone of you have done exceptional work. You all (kiddo's and folks) should proud. Glad I don't have to vote......or do I?????
Your running out of time but its not over yet. Grab a child and help them make a pen.

HEY BE CAREFUL.... Don't just randomly grab some kids, I bet there are a few parents that might get a little mad at someone saying "Hey little kid wanna make a pen in my shop" :bulgy-eyes:
