so come on aussie hope a heap more aussies jump aboard on this

O.K. I will answer the call, I'm easy so I'll sit on the fence, give me a shove and I'll fall either way

we only have 26 Aussies

Being one of those Aussies, I am more than happy to swap with 2 OS friends if that helps out.

What the heck it's the Christmas season, Put me down again for another.

I have a pretty busy Jan/Feb/Mar so have started on my pen already... If I can pull off my intended pen it will be pretty cool

Thanks mate

Would like to do 2 O/S if possible but as said ....anything will do.


Still making pens for the pens for the troops. Hopefully the chrissy break will mean lots of shed time for me!

I had no intention to sit on the fence you can by all means put me down to swap OS i only said either would suit because I was unsure of the numbers.

We now have 60 people signed up that's 30 Aussie members and 30 members from other nations (5 nations represented to be precise) and one of those is touring Aust during 2011!

A number of members have indicated that they would be happy to have more then 1 swap partner

Another 40 signatories would be good so hassle your mates

I'll shortly be PM'ing those whom took part last year whom haven't as yet joined in (except "the chook" whom has given up woodworking)

I'd like to participate!
But there's a slight issue, being minus a lathe and any skill i can't actually turn the pen.

If someone would be willing to swap with me I can offer a couple pen blanks and pen kits in return. On the bright side it means you get a nice pen and get to feel what it's like turning Maple. I'd try to make it Birds eye or stabilized burl but it depends on what's in store.

Any takers?
