What is taking so long?????

Here it is, February 2nd, and there are no entries in the Difficult to Write With Pen Contest! What are we suppose to make fun of? To whom should we direct our Trash Talk? Step it up folks. Get out in the shop and make something stupid. There are people (you know who you are) just waiting to hurl their witty banter, but they need a target. Derek can only absorb so much! :biggrin:

Maybe all the contestants are trying to fill out the entry form by hand with their entry and finding it difficult.:biggrin:

If we dare send pictures how many should be sent?

Good question. One picture. Make it your best. I'll include that in the rules.

does it have to be a turned pen...or can it be constructed of kit parts and "other" materials?

Keep your shirt on (please...), some of us are waiting for Saturday to have the time to get to the lathe... :biggrin:

I am faced with weather delays. The DDD pen (Desert Dried Dung) collection has been hampered by rain and cold temperatures. Hoping for warm and dry in Tucson.

It has to be a pen. You have to make it. It should be able to write but you should have a hard time writing with it. Most importantly, "This is not a serious contest, although in many ways it may resemble one."

Have some fun with it.

Words of advice: If your pen is too difficult to hold for writing, it might be a little too difficult to hold for assembling.

I would say talk about the Boogerhead D Oliver.

Then make a Pen Stand and enter it this contest
