Hello Robert; Did you notice the Cigar center bands were omitted from these pens?

It's been sometime since I've been here. Other things in life took over from the importance of penturning!

Rest assured Mike; Yours is neither a Gatsby nor is it turned from a "red" wood!

My pal Jim; Don't bite off more than you can chew. I appreciate the sentiment, maybe next time or sometime!

I have a hunch I've got a great partner in Mike, not that you wouldn't have been, Jim!...

Thanks Mike! PM sent.

For references: I swapped with Jon Lanier in '09, Matt Ranum in '10 & Brandon nichols in '11!

Lucky guy there, Jim! I can't make a pen sale to save my life!:D

I am opting in!! But there has to be a "date to be completed by" established.

Hello James; I will be opting in to the pen exchange.

A "completed by date" should be established at this time!

I can hardly believe the last time I posted a pen on SMC was June '09! I do lurk a lot though.
A friend of mine sent me a slab of Manitoba Maple Burl in a trade for some pickguard. I have no idea...

I was always under the impression that chucks to turners are like clamps to flatlanders.

You can never have too many!!

My first lathe was a 1460 that I reconditioned. It required the bearings to be replaced. Took out 88505's and replaced with same. As a matter of interest I still have a brand new pair of 88505...

Actually the acronym is "Some Parts Are Meat"!

Steve; Buy yourself a cheap set of earplugs to wear. The click noise will go away!:D

Hi Chris; Glad you received the plans. Here's a pic of one of my completed ones. Honey Locust/Walnut combination!

What do you enjoy the most about SMC?
The willingness of all members in helping with questions etc., and the...

Hi Pete; Thanks for the pen comment. I've made many many more that have never been posted on SMC. As well, I have the WOOD mag that has these plans. I've tried to search the WOOD index of plans many...
