Lights just went on

Shop is open. Starting out the day with Knurl GT's. What is your project(s) for the day?

Real life work that's what my plans are for today. I've got a gadsby click pen I'm trying to finish

 

[mbroberg]

I have a pile of blanks that I made that, for a variety of reasons I do not want to sell. Maybe they have some bubbles (that would be turned away), maybe the mold got slightly off level while in the pot resulting in a "sloped" blank (fat at one end, thin on the other but still proud of a bushing). Maybe a slight discoloration or any other of countless other reasons. They can be made into perfect pens, but they are not perfect blanks. What I do with these is square and label them then ship them off to Sharon in AZ for use by her blind turners. I have several hours worth to try to do today.

Blowing snow. We had a storm blow through on Saturday and dropped 2' of snow. But between yesterday and today it will be gone where I need it to be gone.

by day I'm an "Essential" working in the plastics industry. By night I'm an aspiring pen turner. I two pens to get out this week for orders (my first two pens to sell in fact) and the kits will be delivered today. We'll see how my plan goes. Everyone enjoy their day!

We sure use them! Thank you so much. The "firebird" ones are especially popular here in Phoenix!

Good day today. More stuff for the display stand or storage box. Productive aside from trimming a blank too short but that will work with a different kit.

 

[mbroberg]

That is a nice days work! Good looking pens.

Don't send those right away, please. The center is closed and there is no one there to accept it. Or send them to my house. PM me if you need my address. Those have raised a lot of money for the center. We sell them as fast as our turners can make them. The firebird on a bolt action kit has been a big hit.

OK. I'll hang on to them until it reopens.

Just spent the last 1/2 peeling the thumb portion of a nitrile glove off my hand. Got glued real good. Maybe I'll stick my hand in boiling water. That should resolve/remove it.

Sharon (happy birthday!) do you want about 50 + parker style refills (free of course)?

 

[WriteON]

Confessions of a Slimline hater. A surprise for a golf buddy. Could be the nicest one I made. Bought the burl from a member. Do not remember who it was.

Sure. I've been giving out extra refills with each pen we make.
