I'm waiting for the glue to dry on idea #2 which is now idea #2 after the Turners Guild meeting I went to with Brooks803 where I was lucky enough to be able to purchase some very nicely figured *cough *cough burl blanks.

Glad to see I am not the only one a little bit behind on this. I am completely ready to start turning as soon as I can find a new stop collar for my head stock spindle. The old one was either never there and I just noticed because I had a center that was a little stubborn or it broke and flew off last time I was using the lathe. I am betting on the first scenario.

Idea # 2 successfully dried, drilled, and tubes glued in. Now I just need to square of the ends and actually start idea # 1 which means stopping either by a vending machine or Lowes. Or something involving a plastic cow, a half full bucket of crawdads, a 7 iron (or a sand wedge), and 3 metrics tons of old twinkies (if I can't find them I guess Mike and Ikes will do).

So, how are things going for all?

First blank exploded, second blank is ugly, third blank is cut, other than that I am just ducky!

Idea #1 didn't survive drilling. Idea #2 only partially survived turning. Trying to fix Idea #2 and see if it will still look good. On to Idea #3.....

You will learn that Ideas 1 and 2 never work and from now on you just start with idea 3 and life will be much easier.

My pen for edicehouse should be delivered today. Hope he is not disappointed. He can always use it for a shop pen.

If its APO AP then just add about an extra week to shipping time.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is closing in on the time that pens should be in the mail. If anyone hasn't heard anything from their partner please send me a PM. Things have been busy at work but I still do check in daily to see how things are going.

Mine went out today. Expected delivery on Thursday.
Done! It's still July, right?? First one exploded, second one cracked during assembly...user error on both. Do I have to admit I was the user with the error? Maybe we'll skip that part. Will ship tomorrow. Really thankful for the deadline being in August, life got crazy the last two weeks.

Juteck has received my box and has promised he, his wife nor the kids will open it till mine has been shipped. He is on vacation to Maine having lobsta and plans to make and ship the pen once he gets back so it looks like our swap is in the works...

It sure is. Half is already turned and assembled, but I'm sure the second half will be appreciated! And yes, I have a sealed flat rate box at home just waiting to be peeled open!!!!!
