I didn't want to post my swap partner (David Mitchell) items until I was sure he had received my items. I didn't think getting stuff down under was that big of a job. When asked at the post office, I...

Lacquer for this lot. Thanks for the compliment.



I am slowly getting the site updated. I have been building it myself, but I am not a web site builder by any means. Thanks and Merry Christmas....

Originally I posted my You Tube videos for Where's My Bowl Blank and now I have completed the bowl and a couple of others to go with it.

I dropped these commissioned pieces off today and the...

As many of you already know, Amos is undoubtedly one of the finest pen swap partners one could ever have. Today I received a replacement box for the original pen I received in the swap. The original...

The two terms go hand in hand. Vacuum is the process that creates the negative space and suction is the movement of a substance within that negative space. The key thing to understand is that it is...

Looks like it's a single speed 22" without the quick release arm.

There should be a plate on the side of the saw with the year of manufacture and some other data.

You can get more answers...

They define suction as the movement of a fluid into a partial vacuum.

They define vacuum as space that is empty of matter.

Hey guys, Thanks for the comments.

The pen cases came from my Canadian supplier.....William Wood-write. They also carry a few of my Fusion Burl pen blanks as well.

Dave

Yes I do Ian, check your PM's

Dave

Thanks Peter.

I actually did not mastermind anything for the MPG in the past. I was just a contributing demonstrator for the event. I sure hope I can make it back down next year. The hospitality...

Sorry for the slow response, I have been swamped with work the last few months.

Amos has gone way above the call of duty on this project. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Thanks Amos....

PM and email received.

Let the fun begin.

Dave

Thanks.

A few people have asked in the last month or so about the status of the pen shop. So I thought I would make the announcement official today.

Yes, it's been sold.....I am the new owner.
Yes it's...

Count me in please.

Canada,USA, OS or DOM

I'm in Canada.....:2tsup:

Dave

A couple of Deer and Moose Antler pens.......and lots more to follow now that hunting season is in full swing again.

All of the pens are 30-06 with FMJ bullet tips. The brass is dipped in lacquer...

Well done John, I am still gloating over my first Tritons here.

Dave

HazzaB sorry I forgot to respond to your question about the tube painting. In the case of these pens I did actually paint the blanks (inside) and the tubes. I did not want to take a chance on ruining...

The Red Mallee Burl is gorgeous...I wish we had more of it here in Canada. Even the Brown Mallee is tough to find. Great looking pens.

I do have a Red Mallee burl in the shop and it's destined to...

In the case of the Red and Blue pens...I sold them to an Engineer.

We will leave it a that.......:wink:

Dave

Firstly.....Thanks for the comments thus far. I have really enjoyed the WW blank making process this far and intend on going further with it. As for the nibs, I am in no way a nib expert by any...

I took some worthless wood blanks to work a few weeks ago for some input on their appearance. 2 of the blanks sold before I even left work. The Red and the Blue were the two blanks that sold and this...

The brass (spent casings) is wet sanded with 600 grit first to bring out the dents and defects. Once I do this I then determine if the casing can be used at all. You would be surprised what can be...

Here are a few bullet pens I was asked to make from some of the recent fall hunting expeditions.

The brass/copper is lacquer coated and the antler is finished with 6 coats of CA and sanded to...

Another couple of fine specimens Amos. They look superb.

Dave

Excellent looking pen Amos and the hardware is perfectly matched.

Dave

You can't go wrong with free Amos. It's beautiful.

Dave

Sounds good to me Harry. My Resin Saver molds are still wrapped in the plastic they were shipped in. I've been to busy with my Worthless Wood blanks to even try them yet. BTW....NewLondon88 did an...

Oz, the sky is the limit on this casting stuff. Let your imagination run wild....:D

BTW.....you might become an addict.

Dave

Another couple of fine specimens there Amos. I'm assuming that the finish on the brass is natural?

Dave

Thanks Harry.

Did you use the Resin Saver Mold to cast it?

Dave

Great looking pen Harry, I am surprised the glue didn't show up in the tube.

Dave

Well done on the pen Sam.

Dave

Thanks Simon.

Well done Amos......:2tsup:

Well done Jerry, you should try some antler for your bullet pens next time.

Dave

I don't know what PP your looking at Nick, but mine was a yard sale special for $10 cdn. and it's a 5 gallon capacity. I pimped it out after spending an entire day cleaning out the old paint (1...

Thanks Amos.....When I turn the remainder of the blanks I'll add them to the post. I am hoping to get new new Fountain Pen kit on Tuesday. Casting has become very addictive.

Dave

I recently cast my own blanks (first time for Worthless Wood) out of Cherry Burl and Alumilite. Some of the members may have seen the original blanks (added below) on another forum. This is the first...

Excellent looking pen there Amos.

Thanks for the useful post.:2tsup:

I have a few woodworking projects I can post, nothing worth drooling over really. I also like to fabricate and weld, plus I do machining as well. Yes these are some of my hobbies and they even blend...

Looks like a great site you have here and I will be frequently dropping in.

I am a fellow wooodworker and enjoy building different projects.
