Bloody Jim Sending me Broke!!!
Saw Jim Carrol at the Working With Wood Show in Canberra this weekend and he has a heap of Froggies Berea (sp?) kits. I kinda went a little crazy and kinda bought a few of them and I am kinda going to get in trouble if I can't kinda make nice pens out of them!!!
I got:
- some Sierras (1 each of gold, chrome & satin nickel)
- Double twist round top European in chrome
- Flat top American rollerball in Chrome
- Streamline round top in gold
- 5x normal mont blanc kits for the orders I have
- Then of course there is all the bushes to suit the berea kits
- B mandrel for the fatter pens
- O drill (still need to buy a 27/64" for the Sierras)
- And oh, is that some Hermes sandpaper you have there in 1m roll lengths? I'll take one of grits 120 through to 400 thanks
AAAAARRRRGH!!!!

Hmm. So far I've avoided the problem, but Jim's a got a Leda mini that's keeps calling me. I can feel his claws on the back of my neck.

Toasty you are in trouble now there is no turning back, the sawdust is in your bloodstream now. You will love the Sierras and Streamlines and then you can buy the Polaris and Cigar, then you will have to buy a display case to show them off. Hey Jim do I get commission.

Toasty once I saw the glint in your eyes I knew there was no turning back so I just had to take your money, a bit selfish I know but some one had to do it.
Hope there was not too much trouble with the minister for finance.
Need to see some photos of the new pens, you have had long enough now to at least get a couple done.
We will be adding the pens to our website later in the week once we settle back home so if you want to have a look I will let you all know.Jim Carroll

Don't worry Stirlo there is a lot worse you could spend that $350 on. Better spending on pens that you have something ot show for it . You can go out and have nothign to show for it.
