Hello eveyone!

[eliasbboy]

I'm a long time lurker here and have benefited GREATLY from the collective knowledge here. I was so happy to find out I was not the only one having the problems I've had.

I just recently stepped up from simply making a few pens for friends and family to actually trying to sell my stuff. I owe a lot of the ability to do that from what I've learned here.

I thank you all.

Here's a few examples of the pens I've made. They won't be exhibited in any museums by any means, but there are far better than my first attempts.

Welcome to the IAP, lots of great work there, well done!

Thanks so much. I'm a brutal self critic so I am almost incapable of appreciating something I make myself. I am almost unable to see past any tiny flaws there may be.

I drive my wife crazy because I end up giving pens away or selling them too cheap according to her.:redface:

Every journey starts with the first step and it looks like you took off running!!! Great work and I think if you stick with it you'll find that things become easier. You'll also become more adventurous. Stick with it, you're doing great and I'm sure the sales will come fast.

Welcome to IAP! I too am my own worst critic. My girlfriend ususally convinces me that there is nothing wrong with the pens that i make.

Glad to have you on the forum, Michael. Love the pens. I think the guitar pen with the small guitar case is pretty sweet.

Thanks so much. This is one helluva site. The help I've received in the last couple days is unbelievable. I truly regret not posting sooner.

I only hope I get good enough that I'll be able to help someone else down the road.

I gotta say if you dont get rid of the rifle shell pen with the wood on it, then i want dibs on it! I love that look! Fabulous look on all of the pens, the only way to do things is to just go all out! Have fun and welcome from Wichita Falls, Tx!
