Matching Set

[Richard in Smithville]

I'm part of a pen swap on another forum, but since my swap partner doesn't come here, I figured I can post( but Dick has to keep it a secret).



The left is new to me. It's a pen light done in chrome. The cigar pen has satin gold hardware. Both are wrapped in " Chilli Pepper' AA but the red and green look Christmassy.


(Sorry about the picture-my light tent broke and I made do on the kitchen table)

Those are really cool looking, Richard. Very nice.

Yep, it looks Christmassy to me too! I like them! Well done.

My lathe has been packed up, and suddenly in the last month I have had requests from a dozen people for a special made pen (for them). It will be at least March or April at the earliest before I can start this up again. I haven't turned one since spring, and I do miss it.

I will get back to the other forum in Nov/Dec. My time is still not my own at the moment (nor has it been for the last 5 months) and what few minutes a day that I have, I spend it here.

It is a welcome relief to be able to hit the web and visit online a few minutes a day. But come Christmas, I will have much more time - for a while at least.

Thanks for letting us see them.

Great looking set, and it does look like

Christmas setting. Your pen, what type of batteries does it take? Thanks for sharing your great work sir, much appreciated.

They definitely look Christmassy. Nice work. A turned pen light...what a great idea.

Great looking set Richard. Your partner is going to like that and your secret is safe with me.

Thank you for the kind words. I sent the set off today along with a few blanks.

BTW: The pen light takes two AAA batteries. I bought it through William Wood-write.

Very nice, love the colors! Where did you find those blanks? The only Chilli Pepper I find online look quite different in color.

Thanks

Hi Gert. Thank you for the nice words. This is where I bought the blanks.
