Thread: New Turner with a New Toy

Maaaate! Stick to woodturning and keep those pens at arms length (pun intended)
Them flamin' pen "turners" are a reeeaaaally weird bunch! They actually think they are woodturners too but they write about writing implements... Buncha frootloops obviously....

OK, I have my crash helmet on, have a go ya buncha pen pushers!

funny Buggers you lot just because a guy turns pens i am managing to cop all this flack Trust me i have a good memory and will seek revenge wood nut
must admit though i did enjoy turning a bowl and tomorrow will be cutlery handles i think

Cheers Ian (Pen Turner)

Mick

nice turnings

welcome to the hobby which has severe deflationary pressures on your wallet
and a word of warning you'll never look at a tree the same way again


and ignore the pen knockers they're just jealous that they can't write

I only turn bowls so I have somewhere on the bench to put my pens!!

Hello Snafu11,
Well sorry to say, the fishing is just about all over. The turning obsession will overtake thee.
But alas, all is not lost - wooden reels, lures, handle extensions - the list goes on. Anyways,
welcome to the obsession. Your first bowl is a good job. Drillit.

Ya got that right Sawdust,i went to Sydney to have a sticky at CABA-TEK a week ago and walked out $280 lighter ...That's on top of what i spent at the Sydney Wood Show ....Lucky i have an understanding wife who said "Well if ya need it just buy it" ..but in the next breathe she said "When you buy what you need STOP BUYING" .....Paul i have said to Ian that i will have to get down there,might get there next Thursday....thanks for the kind words guys,appreciate it.....Turned up a couple of timber pens yesterday but i think i will post them up in the dark side section ...Love the banter it gives us a chuckle....

I think you're in trouble

if my wife said that I'd have a stubby and would still be in trouble

Have been dealing with Pop's Shed since they opened. Can't talk too lightly of them.

Some of us are of the opinion that if the turning is smaller than your forearm, it isn't a real turning.

Ducking behind the wall.
