Pen Turners' Swap #9: THE JOURNEY IS COMPLETE!

110 days ago by itsme_timd | 7 comments »

As Nils mentioned, the Goodie Box was on my doorstep yesterday. I wasted no time at all digging in and seeing what was in this Treasure Chest! WOW! This sure did G-R-O-W since it left Georgia, it’s packed full of stuff. I’ll get to the pics soon but first here’s a recap of the trip. Started with me in Woodstock, GA (5 Kits – 5 Blanks – 5 Pens)I sent it to jeffthewoodwhacer in TennesseeJeff sent it to Karson in DelawareKarson sent it to FrankA in New York...

Thanks Rockler!

126 days ago by itsme_timd | 4 comments »

Just wanted to share a good experience with Rockler. They’re getting some new pen kits in and I ordered a Jr. Gent in black titanium. When I received the kit I got a gold finish kit. The part number matched what the site had listed as the BT kit but the description said it was a gold kit. New item, slight mix-up, it happens. Rockler sent me a new kit and no charge and told me to keep the gold kit for my troubles! Always nice to get quick and courteous service these days. Th...

Pen Turners' Swap #5: We're on the move again... welcome to Canada!

150 days ago by itsme_timd | 18 comments »

Hey Jocks, I received quite a few emails during this leg of the trade, unfortunately it took a bit longer than anticipated for the box to make it to Relic in Nova Scotia, but it is there now and we are moving right along. Here’s the latest map… After Relic makes his trades the box is off to Rikkor in Minnesota and then wayyy over on the Left Coast to Nils in CA – then it’s back ‘home’ to Georgia. Looks like it will probably head off again sinc...

Pen Turners' Swap #3: One small step for pen turners...

180 days ago by itsme_timd | 17 comments »

The box is on the move again! A short trip this time from Karson to FrankA. Frank received the box yesterday but hasn’t had a chance to go through it – some story about -5 degrees and a dead oil burner. We’ll work with him some on getting his priorities in order before the next trade… :-) The box is ‘chilling’ in New York right now, here’s where we’ve been so far: Stay tuned as the drama unfolds and we answer gripping questions like...

Madrone Burl Pen

190 days ago by itsme_timd | 9 comments »

I don’t want to post 100 entries on my projects page for pens but wanted to share this one, I think it came out great. I’ve always tried to have some type of artistic outlet and never had any skills. Drawing, painting, music – no luck at all. I tried trombone in 6th Grade and the band director actually asked me to move the slide but not actually play… true story. :-) I’ve received a lot of compliments on the pens and I’m getting better – this on...
