Turners wanted
We have a donation of 200 kits from the Boronia Branch of the Vietnam Vetrans in Victoria.
We need people tp put up ther hands to turn these kits into finished pens.
Please put your name down in this thread if you are willing to turn.
I also have blanks available if anyone wants them please also ask in this thread
We need the pens to be returned to me bu the last week in March so they can get to the troops for Anzac Day.
Many thanks to the Boronia Branch of the Vietnam Vetrans for the generous donation and many thanks for Amos for doing the organising

I won't commit for more than I'm sure to get done so put me down for 15. If I get the time I will add a few more from my stash. If you are struggling for numbers in a couple of weeks I will see if I can commit to another batch. cheers Des

If you are still looking for some pens to be turned, I would like try for 10 but I have to say I am a beginner if that is ok.

Gloriac, of course it is ok, it is the heart and soul that goes into making these pens that counts, same as for pen swaps-it is the attitude and willingness and desire to make someone else happy that really counts. Amos
