    Default Now is the time

    If you are considering making some pens for Christmas, now is the time, try and get them to me before mid November, so they can reach the troops in time. Thanks, Amos

    Default Thanks to Sundowner again!

    Received about 90 pens and some pencils from Sundowner today, many thanks to his great effort. 25 pens plus 7 pencils have been sent off today to an address supplied to me. No photos yet, camera is at home, but some lovely crosscut hairy oak in that lot. Amos
    OK, the pens are off to Afghanistan.
    Also, one of our members here on the forum is headed overseas for a tour of duty, wish him luck and won't name him unless he says ok. Amos

    Default Received two lots of pens

    Many thanks go to Pasho and Fireman Sam for their donation of pens for the troops, I will post photos on Wednesday , camera not with me at the moment(work).
    I had a look at the IAP pen site and read up on what they are doing for their troops, very encouraging, maybe we could take a page out of their book and look for sponsors. Amos

    Amos,

    When is the next shipment going out?

    I've got 4 done waiting to be sent over, and another 3 waiting by the lathe. (been a bit slack lately ).

    Don't want to miss the xmass delivery for the boys, better pull my finger out I think.

    Looks good pasho & sam.

    Amos, just put sanding sealer on three pens, probably doing the rustins tomorrow night, so should have them ready to send by the end of the weekend.
