    Default What do you do with leftovers?

    You make a pen out of them of course.
    Made from about 7 different little left over bits.

    Damn right! Any pen turner with "leftovers" is doing it wrong! But what's with the bullet casing on the lower barrel? Run out of offcuts? Surely all you had to do was wait for a week or two...?

    Your assignment for next week is...

    Good stuff, keep it up.

    Nah, I didn't run out of offcuts just the inclination to glue together another little stack. I also have 9 more bullets to use up so can spread the offcuts further.

    you don't suppose he will get as far down as to start to glue sawdust together do you?

    (One of dad's favourite saying was "You might as well as plait sawdust" indicating a likely negative result OOPS outcome. We don't have results anymore, do we?

    Sawdust? What's that? Oh, you mean the really small offcuts?

    hey I seen a pen done with saw dust in resin it looked really hot. Nothing to chuck off there. If you can handle the fumes off the resin. Makes me sick. Not as sick as CA though.

    The ground isn't as hard as it was. We have had tank overflowing rain so the ground is nice and soft at present.
    My ammo isn't live (cough).The shells were given to me by a work collegue sans primer and anything inside them. She reloads her regular shells but not these winchester shells. It seems it is a bit of an art.

    What kind of bird seed? What drill bit did you use with it?
    Do you have a good source for the bird seed? Did you use CA or EEE and Shellawax?

    I can just see someone walking up to the bird cage, skew chisel in hand, eyeing the bird carefully..
    .. they stare at each other ... and then " ..... you gonna eat that? "

    Hi Terry I’ am new to this turning thing whilst I have made 3 pens I can not work out the bullet end could you give instruction on how you did it? I have a few gun enthuses in my family and they would just love a bullet pen. Sorry for being a pest..

    Cheers Justin
