Thread: Heritance FP nib group buy

Oh I got another update. This is what it said.

Shipment Activity Location Date & Time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic Shipping WOODBRIDGE VA 22191 11/01/09 9:27am
Info Received

Russell.

The first one means that they printed out a shipping label via the USPS website. That
label has to be used that day, so shipping is being done. .it's been paid for.
The second one means that it was shipped out of the Woodbridge post office.

USPS tracking is pretty much useless. You might not see any update till after it
has been delivered.. and that's in the US. International shipments don't get tracked
at all, because the USPS has no control once it goes overseas.

Ooh, that was done on the 11th of January 2009, and it still hasn't arrived here?

Slack!

LOL, good one fred

Russell.

My last lot took about 10 days all up, quite happy with that. USPS tracking still has the parcel on the way somwhere.

Hey folks,

A quick update. I've just got home and the nibs arrived some time during the week. I'll have a sort through the parcel tomorrow and for those getting them delivered separate from the Exoticblanks buy, I'll start packaging up.

It's the wife's birthday weekend coming up though, and I'm still to yet finish making her present so it'll probably be early next week before I start posting off. I have addresses still from the Micromesh buy, but anyone new who hasn't sent me their mailing address, please do so. Maybe I've already asked for and received the details. If so, ignore this. It's late, I'm tired and I'll have a look when I can think straight in the morning.

Russell.

Thanks for the update Russell. I'm still waiting on the Exotic blanks buy, so no rush from me.

Haha. No, I don't think so. I've just finished. 3 of the little Confetti lampt that Timberbits sells. I must say, turning pens in no way prepares you for turning "traditional" turned objects. Had troubles with the parting tool (big lump of wood flew off the lathe and hit me in the upper lip. Still smarting. Also shortened one fo teh lamps a little trying to do the end grain. Kept catching everywhere. tried to do a bead witha skew too, and had a few "do-overs".

But anyway. Lou said to remind everyone that if anyone has any problems with his gear, just let him know and he'll fix it right up. Customer service sure is a big plus for sticking with the little guys these days. Big companies don't want to know you once they have your cash.

Russell.

thanks Russell
Your time and effort is much appreciated

oooo, don't say that too loudly, you'll never shut up abut pen turners

How do the confetti lamps look? I've seen the kits, but would love to see a completed one. Maybe a new thread - wouldn't want to hijack your own thread

Will take a pic once they've been lit up. Probably post in the turners forum. Problem is, I can't find any lamp oil for them yet

So you mean I should actually scroll down a bit

Thanks..

The confetti lamps are pretty neat.. can be eye catching too. They can be simple
or ornate.. and easy ro difficult as you want. Lots of fun and a nice break from
pens.

Here's a few I gave away last year. There's a few 'oops' in these, too.
