Okay, so I'm a new guy here and have spent the last 2 weeks trying to absorb at least some of the EXCELLENT advice and tutorials from the folks here and the INCREDIBLE library.................
So now thanks to the library, I have my first pen kits on order, and just made a resin saver type mold this afternoon. Can't wait to see how it turns out after cure, 2 days will be agonizing to wait, but, oh well...............
Just went diving into my recycle bin at the curb to rescue some Buckeye Burl ( yay, I beat the recycle truck by 2 mins ) that I thought was beyond hope after I read about Worthless Wood.....now got some juice on order too!
Made a vacuum box today from 1/2 " acrylic cut offs at my local plastics supplier.......
Now I wait anxiously for the molds to dry and the kits to arrive.
This forum is great and I want to say thanks for all of the first class information that you all have shared. Anxiously awaiting to make my first pen. Any thoughts on how to get some sleep in the meantime :wink:
