    Survival Kit

    This is a survival kit I made for a Boy Scout who has been helping me with the Cub Scout group I am in-charge of. I didn’t want to do something that he would hang on the wall for a few years and forget about. I wanted to make something that he would say, “Heck yeah! This is Cool! I am gonna use...

    Playing with colors on pens...

    Thanks guys! I used CA for the finish. A bit of color came off with the first few applications, but not enough to affect the color. To make the antler pen float, I just used a plate of glass at an angle over the background, and played with the shaddows to get the effect right. I have been...

    Playing with colors on pens...

I used mahogany in the first pic, with...

    New to wood working

    Thanks man! Camp Lejeune gets their domestic wood (they don't sell exotics) from these guys: http://www.worldtimbercorp.com/MainPage.htm They have a bunch of good stuff, domestic and exotics. I have never shopped there (I order most of my wood), but from what I hear, they are good people.

    So, after ten years of woodworking...

    ...I turned my first pens. I have no idea why I waited this long. :dontknow: I did 4 slims and 2 .50 cals. Awosome time. I had to grind a spade bit down to a 7mm (forgot to get one...) and my pen mandrel was the wrong size (1/4" not 7mm). Oh well. Still had fun. Thanks for looking!
