Last friday Cudahy High School, Cudahy Wi, conducted a Freedom Pens Turn-a-Thon. The goal was to create 200 slim line pens in one day. The students started at 7am and finished around 5pm. The final count......178. The kids worked hard and had a good time.

Thanks to Ed Brown for coming out and sharing his expertise.

(Here's proof Ed really does know how to make a pen.)

Thanks also to Al and Carl from MAWT for their help and guidance.

I was going to say something about that! But then again, I know that "the resinator" says he likes to turn wood... Just has a hard time selling pens made of it.. His acrylics sell better...

Since these were giveaways - no problem there!
 
That is a fantastic thing to hear about. More schools should be getting involved with things like this. Thank you for getting involved.

We kept Ed over in a dark corner where no one could see him.

They got 200 done but a few of them needed adjustments.

This is the second year we did this. Last year it was over 200.
 
Ed moved a couple times. In case you didn't notice, Ed is actually turning WOOD. He claims to have had Dawn cast a blank to look like maple but we know the truth. Actually Ed was a great help, I'm glad he was able to join us.
