Back in the saddle

**BoomerangInfo** · 15th September 2011, 06:00 PM

Hey All,

Well, after 3 years of living away from home, Friday was my last official day in Brisbane (although I've had a couple weeks rec. leave before quitting). I now work part-time about 1km from my home, and am devoting the rest of my time to trying to top up the income from my own enterprises. Of course there's a Honey-do list that's built up over my 3 years of working away from home during the week, so it might take me a while to get up to speed on the stuff I want to do, but I can live with that

I was beginning to think it'd never happen, but now that it has, I'm ecstatic, and for the first time in I don't know how long, I'm using the shed again. I did actually try a circuit board pen last week, but had a bit of an oopsie with a gouge, so figured I'd better go back to square one as it seems my skills are a little rusty.

So, this is more a practice pen than any, so don't get too excited, but I hope this is the start of many new photo's and adventures.

Russell.

A Boomerang has come back well done.

Your pen is pleasing and high time every pen displayed for us by us receives respect from us as encouragement, my first thought for all is in sharing show us your pens and prove the theories that abound.

Slimlines are the most acceptable of pens to every person I have presented one to over many years now. Joe and Jill everyperson is thrilled to have a product so useful and different. My obsession is excessive but controlled.

Recently I sold my Mercedes deciding I can only drive one car at a time perhaps it applies also to pens for most people.

With my both feet on the ground I view Boomerangs return with happiness his adversity separation from home over this pen be it whatever timber is a promise of things to come, the grain is neat as is the pen.

Kind regards Peter.

**Rum Pig** · 16th September 2011, 12:20 PM

Good the hear you are back

Good luck avoiding the to do list and look forward to seeing the pens.

With the price of petrol ,close to home is worth a paycut lol. Don't think you will have any more time in the shed as other things will steal your time hehe, I am retired and still never have enough time , how people like Neil,ever get time to do all the fun things along with work and everything else has got me beat

Cheers ~ John

Thanks guys,

Peter, I'd like to have seen you trying to drive 2 cars at the same time, that would've been interesting.

Amos, I'm sure some busting will be involved, don't worry.

Charlie, I thought you were too busy with your latest set of toys to have time to read pointless forum posts? (You still playing with your laser, or something new taken your fancy?)

Rummy, it'll be a fine line knowing when to avoid the missus, but I'll give it my best shot

And finally John. I don't think you can complain about lack of time when you seem to keep rolling out more pens in a week, than I've done in 3 years

Russell.

Time to blow off the dust and bring the machines back to life!

Happy turning.

something is always catching my eye and I'm still playing with the laser. But I read
here and a few others. I just keep quiet mostly. Built an acrylic bender yesterday so
I'm playing with that.. might even turn another pen soon!
