Thread: Great need for swappers

I was short changed in last years swap,so will not enter again.
I like your blackball idea.

Terry

I will swap a pen only to up to five overseas people. Including pen blanks to this number as well would tip my budget too far to the left. I have this feeling that Schaf has as well but decided pretty quick to bounce back with some beaut experinces so please Schaf give it another go for me trust me you will never nregret it. If you are reticent still await your swap until you receive theirs. I know you have such a lot to share and I respect that. Try me and prove me.
High regards Peter.

the pens to me not a problem to turn some thing half reasonable , but those fancy boxes the guys put them in is some thing i have not tackled yet

If you make a box for yourself will count far more than all the fancy boxes to a fellow craftsman (non gender implied) hehe. cheers~ John

Texx, you don't have to make a fancy box to put it in, if you really want a great box, Timberbits has quality ones for $15, or get a regular box from any supplier you wish.
Terry, I really feel for you mate, sorry you got short changed. As Peter said, "give it another go".
I think we need to remember--When we enter this swap, we enter for the "spirit" of it, For the new friendships we can make, as such, we do not deliberately go out to give one cent so that we can get one dollar, but if one cent is all you have, then that is very acceptable, in fact I prefer one cent given in genuine friendship than a dollar with deception in the heart!

My life is rather full at the moment, so I'm reluctant to sign up as I may not get around to doing a pen that's worthy of swapping for quite some time. What's the final close-off date, so I know how long I have to procrastinate?

The "procrastination cut-off date" is January 25 3PM so I can get the draw done on time for the 9AM Australia Day Swap.

I'll do a swap with you if you wish
almost overseas - Qld's another country ... isn't it

seriously - I think you were unlucky
and in any event don't send until your swap partner has said they've posted their parcel

Thanks guys,but no I will stay out of this one.
Maybe next year.
Terry

I have my name in the hat already... but I would really like to know if any of the people who didn't complete their end of the swap are still active members on the forum? Personally I am a big fan of "Name and shame"... I do it at work all the time

i agree lets name the sods that wrecked the pen swap for some the guys
