Triple Play

[PTownSubbie]

Well this pen is three firsts for me. Oh yeah, and my 1000th post!!

1. First Noodle Pen Blank
2. First Pen turned from start to finish with a skew
3. First Jr Gent I kit ever used

Well, I cast it myself with Silmar 40 resin.

Sorry for the poor pics. It kinda pixelated but you can get the idea of what it looks like.

Actually, you left early and didn't get a piece. I cut up that piece and sent it with the guys. I cast another piece a couple days ago. If you come by, you can snag one.....

I am working with the skew info I gained from the turning meeting. I am progressing!! Atleast I am trying!:biggrin:

HAHA. Just my luck huh? LOL. I think you gave me enough when you were on your way to Italy. I expect to see that chittum pen here when you get around to it! :wink:

Well, it looks like your triple play is a home run (sorry, couldn't resist, but I like the results in any case).

Yeah, Give me a call. I have a few questions for you on my metal lathe too if you have a few minutes.

LOL!! To graduate would take extra shipping....Why pay an extra $10/gal to graduate from S40 to S41?:biggrin:

Besides, I feel special now. I use something that others don't......:bulgy-eyes:

Fred,

Great looking pen. I'll post my turning out of the early casting tomorrow or Tuesday.
