I think anything to spark some interest and discussion has got to be a good thing. I find myself going over to the IAP a lot lately to get a bit of a fix over there as its plenty lively.
I just went and had a look again at the critique thread in the woodturning forum again, 377 posts and 84213 views in 5 years, so what does that work out at, maybe 1 post every 5 days on average. Maybe not as lively as I first thought at first glance. But its getting plenty of lookers.
I havent read through the posts by the way. But maybe I will now that I know its there.
Hey mate
Lol mate I know just had to say it like I saw it lol
I think if we need to shake things up how about another pen challenge or something like that for forum members only. I just looked at the challenge thread and the last one was 2010 now thats awhile ago. I know we have the pen swap and mystery box but I think something different is in order to get things cranking

From what I can see in the photo you have got it pretty well spot-on. I can see on the top edge of the lower end (nib end) the blank looks slightly proud of the fittings ( this is how I like mine as well), I know from experience that it looks exaggerated in the photo, in real life it will be barely noticeable.
The blank speaks for itself, its good.
Hey mate thanks I did turn this one between centers with no bushes and there is a very small step and I mean small lol. After my last one was pointed out I set out to minimize that issue with some feed back from Neil much appreciated mate. So I am still not taking it all the way down but that is by choice just like ur self Ironwood I like it like this :-D thanks for the feed back guys. Ok so I am gonna chuck another one up and see how it goes looking for some feed back on this one
Thanks
Ian
Ok so I put 3 up :-o

Hey mate ok I can tell u that is part of the shedded skin and not a bubble. Not sure if everyone knows this but when the sheds its skin it actually stretches about 30% of the actual size of the snake ;-) and thats what u are seeing in the pic mate

Duly noted mate ;-)
Thanks for the feed back

U are know lol I would but they dont tend to make it to pens and if they do I fill the bubble so it's like it was never there lol but I dont have issues with bubbles any more :-D
