    Default Field notebook pen

    Hey all, its been a while since I made/posted anything as I'm a sea going sailor for the next 18 months or so

    I needed a small pen for my notebook at work so I modified a teachers pen (only used one end and cut the middle barrel to suit). My jobs trade symbol are the crossed Indian Clubs so I used a baseball bat (looks close enough to a club) to represent my job.

    The wood is Gidgee and finished with Shellawax Glow.

    Good looking pen.

    Change in roles or just a rotation?

    Just a rotation... apparently we're supposed to do some sea time every now and then in the Navy

    nice pen corbs, i think you got done by the youngbloke though

    i hope you enjoy your trip, by the way lock the lathe up while you are away or the youngbloke will have used up all your kits

    Thanks guys, the upcoming trip is just a quick one up North with a couple of visits to Brisbane and one to Mackay. The ship is in refit from late Oct until Mar/Apr so will be working out of Sydney for that period and getting a fair bit of riding in hopefully

    It must be so hard going to sea again. You should take your lathe with you, only if I could.

    I can relate to that going to see Business but being being a former Navy Musician you didn't get to spend a hell of a lot of time at sea. 12 months in 10 years I don't know what your sea to shore rate is Corbs and I reckon Davids would be a shocker lol.

    Cheers Ian

    Of my first 7 years in the Navy nearly 5 were posted to ships... I had a good run of shore postings and am now a few months short of Tier 3 which is over 6 years sea postings. Have a bit less than 18 months left on this one which should just about see me through my sea going time for the Navy
