I entered the drawing! Who knows - might be my own worst enemy if I tried to do my own engraving!

Thanks for the response - I have taken several items to the engraver - items I have sold and getting engraved for my customers - and the engraver has made mistakes - like burning all the the way...

OOPS - title should be WHO no Whi!
Question for you all: I am not an engraver (but looking into acquiring a system) but have a question: When you take in work to be engraved who is responsible if...

I am thinking about getting a laser engraver and curious what kind of experiences you have and what you would recommend. I am just looking to get a simple desktop type machine with minimal...

I am saddened by your loss- my prayers are for you and your family.

Jim, Great pens - I love the segmenting on them. I am getting close to trying that! Super job!

Awesomeeee Kathy! I go with 73!

I have purchased from all the suppliers mentioned. I found PSI to be worst in terms of response/timeliness. Only had one order that had any problems and still trying to get that straightened out....

The hardest problem with 406 coats is I keep losing count somewhere after 60!
I corrected my post - should of been 4-6!

+1 for what Scott said. I find I usually do 4 coats of thin CA and then 4-6 coats of med CA. Really produces an outstanding finish.

Nice looking pen! Great wood! I like the Cigars too - I doubt I could leave a piece of wood like that laying around for 5 years!

Nice pens and good luck with the sales opportunity!

I can vouch - Jim does have pen blanks! Lots of pen blanks!
"Several thousand dollars cuz you're gonna need it:p!!"
It is amazing how a little here and a little there adds up!

Plus + what Ken said

Very nice! Why didn't you show me how to do that when we visited?!:)

Sounds like a great Thanksgiving! Added to your list of things to be thankful for.

Jim - fantastic - the pen is awesome. I really like the shape!

My limited experience with color was bad. I had a bucket of DNA that I soaked 3-4 walnut bowls in. A coupole of weeks later I through in a spalted box elder bowl that came out very brown- a very...

Great job reaching those kids! Wish more school teachers put themselves into their jobs and invested in the kids! And I agree Jim - that was a great gesture to send the blanks to the school, your...

Those are very nice! I would like to see the tutorials!

Jim and I had a great visit! His hospitality and generousity are astounding. We traded goodies but I definitely ended up on the good end of the stick! He gave me some great pieces of wood and even...

JIm is the one with the glasses and goattee!

Peter - that is a fantastic pen - a beautiful piece of olive!
