Geez Ed....could you get any more creative?

BTW, what finish did you use, Raid or Off? []
Seriously, did you use a plastic polish or what?

 

[YoYoSpin]

Thanks Bill. Its wet sanded to 600 grit followed by a Beall buff...simple and fast.

I got enough splotches on my body right now!! Keep that thing away from me.

Good looking, though, Ed. You show some folks pens like that and you'll have a market for college color pens. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[melogic]

Great looking pen Ed. I also like the idea Chuck has about college pens. I have someone now interested in Ohio State colors.

Ed you should call it the "Yellow Jacket Special".

Ed, how long did it take to get your order from the violin co. I ordered the 16th and they haven't shipped yet.

 

[YoYoSpin]

Bev, my first order took about 1 week to get here. But the 2nd order, placed 8/12, has not yet arrived...looks like something is wrong. Maybe we've tapped out their inventory.

 

[melchioe]

Bev, you might have meant me (another Ed) for the violin co. MM deal - it only took about a week. They didn't indicate it had shipped until after if got here, though.

 

[daledut]

Ed,
You have another hit there.

BTW we have tapped out the PVC supply in some colors. I have 80 feet coming in 8 colors to cut up for pen blanks to sell.... so stay tuned.
They did backorder the red and white. But I should have the other colors this week with the red and white following in 2 weeks.

 

[Bev Polmanteer]

Boy, these senior moments are getting stronger!. No, I meant the other Ed (Yoyo) and I meant the co that supplies the rods, not the violin one. I got my MM already but am waiting on the PVC rods. Sorry!

 

[Old Griz]

Ed.. I like the multicolors... what technique do you use to create them... Do you drill first and then cut the angles or cut the angles, glue and drill (Like I do with my multi-wood pens).. also what glue do you use...
Was thinking of doing school colors of the local high schools here for my Christmas Craft Booth...

 

[YoYoSpin]

Hey Tom, yeah...this PVC material is very nice. First, I'll cut the pieces, then glue using thick gap-filling CA, clamping the lamination up lightly, and then drill. Makes an excellent joint. Be sure to wet-sand. Dry sanding does not work very well.

Ed, do you wet sand right from the starting grit? Use water or something else? I usually use liquid wax.

 

[YoYoSpin]

Jeff, yes...I'm all wet...uh, I use water from the start, sanding from 220 to 600 grit before going to the buffers.
