My 7 year old Needed a new Powell Pencil for School

[Buzzzz4]

My son, Josh wanted a new pencil as he starts school today (homeschool). He was so excited when I suggested we make a pencil together. He went right to the "special" blank drawer. Yes, this was daddy's personal stash and chose out the cowboy from Jeff Powell. Of course I said yes and we went to work. He sanded the tubes while I cut and drilled the blank. I then glued and squared the blank and we turned it together. He had a blast and is so proud of his new creation for school.

Eric, congratulations to you and especially your son. Great work. I am trying to break my grandson into this stuff, but I have a bit of an advantage. He is 20 years old. He, however so far, has not done a piece this nice yet.

You can say right here is a proud PAPA! I can say the pen turning business will be handed down!

Great photos and pen. Nice to see the interest from the younger ones and the time spent together is priceless. Had my grandaughter spend a week with us last summer and the two of us spent most of the time in the shop. Got 4 pens made for her to take back to school.

And..he lost a tooth in the battle and he's still smiling ! lol

wow...most people wouldn't let a little guy in with a blank like that. I'm real impressed though..the pen looks super! The boy has great taste too...I think that skull cowboy is really cool and fun to look at, wish I had a pen like that growing up.

Pretty hard to beat some quality shop time like that.
