Well it's been a while since I've been in the garage, what with the leaking roof that was only recently resolved by the landlady and other things getting in the way.

I think said landlady felt a bit bad at how long it's take to repair the roof and allow me to get back in there, it was dripping directly onto the lathe workbench, and came to me for a pen for her husbands 70th birthday.

Custom request as the fella is heavily into chess. After she'd picked from a selection of images, Scott Walker custom cast the cap for me. The barrel represents an abstract chessboard, black and white mosaic acrylic. Kit is the Shakespeare from BMPK as I'm sure most of you will recognise.

Felt good to get my hands back into things :)

Check ,,,,mate brilliant concept. The standard of this pen is universally brilliant its a breathtaker Greg, worth turning seventy for. This pen belongs in the hall of honour on this forum.Deserves to be shown world wide IMHO.
