metaljunkie Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I started doing pens about a year ago when I had to relocate to the city and live in an apartment. They do pass the time, but you can get pretty creative. I really enjoy the wood pens and have recently started turning acrylic pens also.

WigWagWorkshop Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Looks Awesome! I just invested in everything needed for resin casting. Pressure Pot, Vacuum Chamber, Vacuum Pump, Mould Making Silicon, Dyes, Powders, Allumilite and other miscellaneous goodies. However, I just don't plan on making pens, but lately I have been making a bunch of twig pots, vases, and threaded boxes out of wood, and thinking I will be able to make some cool "hybrid" blanks with resin and wood. Since I was just "relieved" of my employment, I am going to spend the winter months enjoying time in the workshop, before I have to go back to the daily grind lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way to do it...stay busy and engaged. My father-in-law, an electrician for 4 or 5 decades, had to retire after a fall at work a couple of years ago. I was hoping he would tinker around in his garage and stay occupied but he opted instead to do what he used to in his off-time--chain smoke in front of the TV. Now he's incapable of almost anything physical. I'll be potentially facing an unknown period of unemployment when I retire in a few years, but plan to stay busy one way or another. In a pinch I'll take a low-paying job just to help pay for tools. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Nice job. How did you get started with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foneguy Posted April 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thanks ..... I was looking for a hobby that allowed me to complete projects in lesser time frames, this way I didn’t have to wait for weeks or months to see completed projects. I have sold quite a few, that helps to pay for the hobby itself. I consider that a win !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
