Thread: X Cut Hackberry

Very nice Gary. Thanks for showing.

Terry

I think I like the look of these better on the EB kits than the Jichi, which is a bit dark for the light kit.

Nicely done.

Russell.

Beautiful

Very nice

Gary,
The pens look really nice. I like the one on the right the most. I think that they would look nice in Black Ti. It is nice to see some of your work here on this forum.

Hi Chriselle...... i got myself a proxxon mini lathe...... hahahaha

That lathe does 5000 revolution.... but i think it hasnt got the torque like the drill press does....... if i take too big a cut..... it just stops..... so its not really that great..... but i think this lathe is good for polishing.......

Really need to get myself a proper lathe......soon.....

Missed the map of the world but did see so much in the pens pics, the method is simply complicated settling to a pen to be proud of.

Chriselle my mate leaves here on Thursday be prepared for a pleasant surprise early next week addressed in Japanese apparently the post code is at the top of the address.

Hank same goes for you.

Gary enjoy your Proxon I fully enjoy Singapore many years ago arriving from Bombay India the contrast was outstanding. Both beautiful but very different.

Regards Peter.

Some beautiful spalting going on there. Well done

thank you all for the comemnts.....

Peter..... when you're next in Singapore..... do drop me a note..... i'll bring you around....... Singapore has changed quite a bit over the past few years..... so im sure there are places which you will definitely want to reminiscience

So is Chrisselle coming over to Singapore as well??

Regards,
Gary

Sorry to be misleading no and no, always in a rush noticed Chriselle had replied to your post, a mate of mine will be in Japan this week and he is rushed so will post from there to both guys mentioned. So I dropped a note to this effect for them to see, sorry for the confusion and thanks for your kind offer.
I have been to Singapore a few times over the years, one time in the 70,s I was an Australian Delegate for an Australian wide professional Photographic Organisation and each state in aussie had a delegate so for 90 dollars return from Perth where the meeting was scheduled I was to have a holiday break as well, the return fare to Perth from Canberra was to be paid by them.Two weeks before the meeting in Perth they changed it to Melbourne so the group changed my flight from Perth to Canberra to Melbourne Singapore return to Melbourne to Canberra. It happened eventually and I never regretted the journey and the rerouting was all paid for by them. One other trip to Singapore was to buy Discus from South America I was just as keen a fish hobbyist as a pen maker and Singapore was easy to buy from and no problems importing at that time.
Looking forward to you upgrading to a larger small lathe so you can more fully enjoy your pen making.
Regards Peter

Wonderfully different and very well made.

No plans Gary but I would like to go sometime.

I had a 7 day trip to Singapore last year.
Its a great modern city, did not have enough time to cover it all.
