    Default Its Been Too Long

    Hey Everyone

    Its been awhile since I last posted and I have been BIZZY making pens and get new toys to play with and trying out some new things. Toys I hear you say thats right NEW TOYS a Bandsaw, Drill press, Vacuum and a little Woodfast lathe for my pens and it works like a dream. Here are my efforts so far today

    Pic 1 Baron Gold Ti wrapped in Carbon Fiber
    Pic 2 Sierra Chrome wrapped in Pink with Crushed Lime Green Novus Polish finish
    Pic 3 Knight Chrome wrapped in Purple Gin CA finish
    Pic 4 Polaris Chrome wrapped in Light Blue with White Crush NV polish finish
    Pic 5 Sierra Gold Wrapped in a Home made Blank made from many woods and acrylic CA finish
    Pic 6 Sierra Chrome wrapped in a Qld Banksia nut paint & CA filled and PC finish

    This my first go at the Banksia nut and I must say I like it

    Ian

    Thank for looking

    No idea mate, but from my knowledge the dust from a banksia nut is horrible to your health, which makes it a bugger because they are so unique

    Cheers, Mitch

    Ian you must be selling more pens than I am and if that's not the case why don't you share the winning numbers instead of keeping them all for yourself
    Well done that is a nice range of pens there and I do like the toys I could do with a couple of them myself LOL

    Cheers ian

    Hey Ian, love the pens mate !. It sure is exciting getting new machines. I have the same Woodfast lathe and I reckon it is a ripper. I also have the smaller model Ryobi shop vac, which is the most used machine in my workshop, ha ha. I have made several adapters from PVC pipe to hook it up to various machines. Have fun mate, and watch the pinkies on the bandsaw !!!!
    I never forget anything I remember !!
