Way to go, Sparky! Goes pretty good once you get into it, don't it? I'm going to wait for my tubes before I ship and maybe even try to gather up a few more kits and add to the bunch I've already got.Originally Posted by Sparky Paessler

I do feel good about making these. I hope that the troops really enjoy them. Guess I need to talk to Ken about some more kits.

Sorry to label you a fireman, I guess it was the "sparky" name - it's a long running friendly rivalry between cops and fireguys!Originally Posted by Sparky Paessler
The pens look great! Thanks for putting in the effort to make them!

I got the Koa from Woodbay on Ebay. Great looking curly Koa.

Actually I got the nickname Sparky back in high school. We were playing baseball and the pitcher was terrible. I came in and pitched (a little better but not great.) and since I am left handed they started calling me Sparky Lyle and the Sparky just stuck. It was later that I got into Electronics.
