    Default A Few Pens and Even More Blanks

    i haven't made many pens of late, been busy making blanks, but here are a few of the most recent ones
    a Mag Cap, 3 Sieras, 1 Cigar and a Churchill

    BLANKS - this is an example of what i have been up to
    the first 2 pictures of blanks were custom orders for people
    the third picture are fresh out of the mold - 2 Zen/Mag Cap and 4 Psi Steampunk Blanks
    the last 2 pickies are of tubes ready for the mold, most of which are in the mold tonight 1 Zen/Mag Cap and the rest are Sieras

    thanks for looking

    C & C Welcome

    Yeh mate, just finished unpacking the trailer and putting everything away yesterday. Started raking up the crap in the yard, unfortunately I caught the rake on a decent weed and ripped a tenon again, so resting yet again for a while. Had a few visitors though that has been good, checking out what I brought back

    Thanks Artme, i have done plenty though, of blanks that is

    here is tonight's play

    the first is a ANZAC Lapel Pin which i discovered tonight at the local RSL, i managed to thin it down a little on the disc sander and didn't loose any skin, it is still very thick so i felt the only components that would give it some breathing room is the Cigar

    the Second is a ANZAC Hat Pin, also discovered tonight .. yes same place, this one is tubed for a Siera

    hopefully i will get them into the mold early tomorrow before work, out tomorrow night and turned

    if i can get all this done, i will be presenting them to the local RSL as a donation, to hopefully raffle on ANZAC Day

    a rather tight schedule, all will be good as long as murphy keeps his nose to himself
