Repeat pen order took me by surprise.

Before Xmas I was asked to make 10 pens by a business man to give to his best customers. Well it seems his not so best customers got to see the pens and asked why they did not get one.
So he has asked me to make another 15 pens. I am not sure that's what I had in mind when I went down this pen turning route. 15 pens sounds like a lot of hard work to me.

Batch production.

I know what you mean though - I've done plenty of lots-of-a- kind commissions in my time and I glaze over after the first few. A good commission to have though, and it definitely helps the old war chest when it comes to buying a new tool here and there
