My Grandson's First Pen

[Band Saw Box]

Our Grandkids came over this afternoon and I got to spend time with my oldest grandson Scott in the shop. He had picked out the blank Jotoba and a gun metal trimline. He drilled the blank and I glued the tubes in and trimmed them. I gave him the basic's and helped in just a little but he did 99% of the work. He sanded to 4000 abralon and finished with 10 coats of WFT. He is very proud of his work and I think he did a awesome job. All C & C are welcome

Congratulations on a job well done to Scott, and to you Dan, for spending that time doing something valuable with him. I'm sure he will treasure that pen for many years to come.

I think Grandma and Grandpa are quite proud themselves. As Mark suggested, print out those photos and hang one in the shop to remind you of the contribution you have made to your Grandson's future as a man to be. Great moments are never forgotten by either party and live forever, even if we mear mortals don't. Jim S

Fantastic job on the pen young fella!

My son turned at a very young age (6 years old) with some excellent supervision. This was an event for Military members some 8 years ago. Although he didn't get to keep the pen it was an experience he'll never forget.

He's now started turning again and is doing nice work.

Good job. I know you are proud of him but get ready to spend money on his new wood shop.

 

[Band Saw Box]

Thanks everyone for your comments, I'll pass them on to Scott.

A Fantastic Pen Scott.
Love the way you made the cap a little larger, so the Clip would hold Firmer.
Your Fit and Finish, is Terriific.
Definately, the "Best first Pen, I have seen.
It won't be too long and you might be showing Grand Dad a thing or two.
Congratulations, Scott, you made Grand Dad's day.
Brian.

Dan, pens like that the standards do not matter. Fit, finish, material choice and all that are all secondary, he for years will say hey grandpa remember us turning my pen together????

However great job on everything.

 

[plano_harry]

Nice job! Now his teachers will want pens

 

[Band Saw Box]

Thank you so much for the comments, Scott picks up on thing quickly and takes instructions very well. I know making this pen will be a special memory for both of us.
