Getting ready for New Year

[Dalboy]

I have made a new year resolution already and you all may want to hear this. I am going to make at least 1 pen next year

Do you think I should have posted this in the "Laughter, the Best Medicine" section

 

[Bill Mooney]

Weeee! 1 pen, that’ll keep you busy Derek.. & yes in answer to your question.

 

[Penpal]

Cracked me up.

Isn't that one less than this year mate??
Good luck, but then you do turn a lot of other things too or should that be 'burn' after your last post

Cant let the poms beat us, my new year resolution is 2 pens.

 

[Dalboy]

I may even stretch to two or even three pens:wink::wink::wink:

The pressure is on.

I will double the challenges.

Haven't made or sold a pen for years.
Then sold 4 (old stock) last week with more wanted for corporate gifts.
So will make some more this year if I remember how to make them

Is that a PENding resolution Derek

If you want some blanks, just let me know. I have all sorts. If I cant get to you, I can always put them in the post.

D'you remember what to do Derek?

Put blank on the lathe and poke a metal thing at it and presto a pen

I have a drawer full of pen blanks but thank you, one of the pens I plan is with a blank you gave me when I visited you.

Well, guys, the new year's resolution is being kept well partially to this point. I have started and drilled and glued the tubes in for 2 pens. They are drying as I type this post. Mind you I now need to read up on the next stage

 

[alan morrison]

How many months do you leave them to dry?

Bleeding heck Derek, your putting the pressure on here.
