It seems that I have fallen prey to a company similar to Oklahoman (Roy) and had my good name stolen and besmirched Now Crafts USA is selling a Pen Pro tool, BUT it's not mine. How can this be you may ask, well it seems there is this guy who incorrectly thought he owned the interchangeable carbide insert wood turning world.
But a letter a year ago to his Attorney proved him wrong. I should have expected some underhanded slimeball trick from the guy, cause that's the way he operates. A friend in Baja told me a few days ago that easy wood tools was making a Pen Pro but I looked on their site and it wasn't there. Sure enough on the front page of CSUSA there is a nice You tube presentation of a easy wood tools with it's original designation Ci2m, but the chumps are calling it a Pen Pro after I've built a rather nice reputation on that name, AND they have it TM'd Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid . How stupid can an old man be.
Well I guess it's time to call the Lawyers like I need the money, and if I remember just filing the Patent doesn't have much bearing on the Trade Mark even if I did file the paper work for the patents as Pen Pro and Bowl Pro. I\at least I know one thing, He's noticed me. I can't become as large as he is nor do I want to, that's for wonderkind Animefan also called Andrew (on a good day, several other names for the other days). but I have a real choice one for the guy I'm upset with. It regards him in the traditional 1800's 1900's family planning in eastern Kentucky, it almost worked with their Thoroughbred Horses, if they weren't bred to closely, I think his stable missed the mark. Please do not interpret this as a slam on Kentucky, those polices were outlawed about a week after his conception.
If this gets deleted or I get censured I will understand, I have never openly criticized any one to this degree on this forum, but I can't wait to meet him at the next show, there may be an old west shootout in Waco, only with turning tools at 20 paces.
OK I feel a little better here is the link to CSUSA from whom I will purchase nothing ever again I know my 300 to 400 a month won't hurt, but it can't help either. http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/
