Auzzie turner 1st September 2006, 06:47 PM Amazing, you all deserve 1
Skew ChiDAMN!! 1st September 2006, 08:31 PM DAMN! I didn't delete the pic quick enough... :D:D
lubbing5cherubs 1st September 2006, 08:37 PM DAMN! I didn't delete the pic quick enough... :D:D
Haha you got to be quick. I got ya..:p
bye
Skewpid 1st September 2006, 08:37 PM DAMN! I didn't delete the pic quick enough... :D:D
Maaaaaaaaaaaaate!! What IS your problem. Those pens are great!
You should be proud. And if not ... we are all proud of you.
*group hug*:eek:
lubbing5cherubs 1st September 2006, 08:45 PM Uhoh.. Run Guys....Skewpids gone all mushy on us..LOL..
Toni
Skewpid 1st September 2006, 09:01 PM Toni ....
You know you love it :D
ps .. scanned this from a previous Aus Woodworker ... Is this the pinnicle of pen turning obsesiveness ???? Is this what we all are destined to become??
(hmmm .. maybe one that big, segmented with a core would be cool . . .)
Touchwood 1st September 2006, 09:49 PM Ok, I'll put mine up - but just to let you know, I didn't manage diamonds (though now I recon I could) but as I had never done any segmented work until I saw the July pens (and now there a nearly a dozen 'have a goes') and got inspired.
I did get muli coloured, despite the fact that the purple heart had a crack somewhere in it and every pen I turned it came apart at the same point. Luckily it wasn't deep enough to show the tube, but often it was deeper than my finishing diameter - out with the 'poxy resin!
I still have enough PH and Pist to make one more pen like the third one - with the woody pear. This one came about as I cut the segements wrong on my 3rd set. I was trying to make the pattern repeat after 3 layers, not two, but cut the 3rd one wrong side up and the segments wouln't line up correctly.
So here they are:
29648
two for August
29649
with woody pear
29650
all three.
There have been some very noce entries - sorry I didn't quite get the diamond bit:(

ss_11000 1st September 2006, 11:19 PM well done guys
lubbing5cherubs 1st September 2006, 11:22 PM nice pens all the same... you did well Jenny
rowie 1st September 2006, 11:44 PM well done guys, very nice work all of you
Skew ChiDAMN!! 2nd September 2006, 12:32 AM Hmmm... I think I'm going to throw my camera in the bit bucket and send all my pens to Jenny to photo. ;) :D
Nice pens, too. The theme was "Harlequin" not diamonds... they just sorta got dragged into it becuase of the reference I posted, I think. It was more the patchwork effect I was thinking of when I thought of the theme and as far as I'm concerned everybody has managed to do a great job of that!
Even my frankenpens, apparently. :rolleyes:
mrblue 2nd September 2006, 01:44 AM Very very coooool....I would be proud to sport one of them around .
Have a good one Don
Touchwood 2nd September 2006, 01:46 AM Thanks Skew, I'd have to 'fess that this was my favourite photo but when I up loaded it couldn't go as I'd messed up my saving size...
29672
so here 'tis.
JD:p
lubbing5cherubs 2nd September 2006, 09:39 AM HI Guys, I have a question for you. I am on the the pen shop board too and I have a question do you object to some one printing out your photos for a class. To show what your mind can do when allowed to wander in pen turning. Any objections?
bye
Toni
PS THis is his post
I have been asked to teach a class at Woodcraft on segmented blank design and such. Does anyone care if I print out pic of these and just show examples of what can be accomplished if the mind wanders.
Toasty 2nd September 2006, 09:48 AM Humbled, truely humbled by all the great work presented so far. <bowingandscrapingsmiley>
chrisb691 2nd September 2006, 01:00 PM After the exploding pen episode, I turned the Purpleheart blank. Sorry I couldn't follow the theme. Really excellent job(s) done by the rest of you.
ss_11000 2nd September 2006, 03:52 PM these are my pens.
1st pen was meant to have a diamond on the top blank ( 4 triangles )
so it was meant to have a purple heart and redgum diamond in the middle of pittosperum. but that didn't work well.
2nd pen is redgum and purple heart.,
the bottom redgum bit ( 3 segments ) is glued at a different angle to mix it up a bit.
so my themed pen ( diamonds ) is the 1st and my other pen is second and the keyrings are from last month. btw the ph has gotton more purpleish
cheers
lubbing5cherubs 2nd September 2006, 06:48 PM Is this all the pens yet or do we have some more pictures to add to it
Toni
Skew ChiDAMN!! 2nd September 2006, 07:14 PM Hmmm... my list had:
chrisb691 Fireman Sam djstimber ss_11000 Tassie Boy Lubbing5Cherubs Dazzler Skewpid Sir Stinkalot fxst Touchwood stuart_lees brind0g Skew ChiDAMN!!
A few extras crept in, but the more the merrier. :) I think there's still one or two to come, though... have to check back and see who had irrecoverable setbacks. (I'm sure a couple said their pens went *BOOM* in a big way. :( )
PS: and I've no objections to printing photos of my frankenpens. Even if they're only used as examples of what can go wrong. Seriously!
dai sensei 2nd September 2006, 07:31 PM ..do you object to some one printing out your photos for a class...
As this is a public forum, I didn't think you'd need permission, but thanks for asking. No probs from my perspective.
Thanks to all, give yourselves a pat on the back, the results have blown me away.
Cheers
Skewpid 2nd September 2006, 09:07 PM Hey Toni .. firstly, no probs with posting my pics .. even if you do want to . . lol
Also .. isnt there more awaiting uploading of their pics before we rev up the poll ? or were all present and accounted for, the rest KIA ???

Thanks Toni
I have had few holdups the last few days. I am heading in to the big smoke tomorrow and will hopefully track my bro down and get my camera back and hopefully come home tomorrow night as well but I have a feeling I might be stuck there for a few days
Tassie Boy 5th September 2006, 06:47 PM Well here is mine...
My good pen that followed the theme suffered explloding pen failure:mad: i tried everything included CPR but it still wouldn't come back to life:mad:
So this is what come from the wreckage:eek:
Hopefully i will go better next month.:cool:
Cheers

Fireman sam 8th September 2006, 06:53 PM Here are both my pens that i got finished :) :D ;)
Andrew
chrisb691 8th September 2006, 06:57 PM What were the results for the August swap? Maybe I've gone blind again, I can't find them. :confused:
lubbing5cherubs 8th September 2006, 08:45 PM Hi mate no you are not blind, we are still waiting on DJ Pens and then the poll will be posted
Toni
DJ’s Timber 8th September 2006, 09:02 PM Well I finally got my camera back from my brother. All I have to do now is get home tomorrow arvo so I can take the picture and post.
Have been stuck in Melbourne for the last few days doing a few jobs. Finish one job and then comes the line, Oh why you're here can you do this as well and this to. So one job became 4 jobs. And before you jump on the bandwagon and say that is good cause it will be more money, well there is no charge on these jobs as it is at my folks house
Gil Jones 11th September 2006, 12:43 PM Toni, you should post that group of pen pics at WR, we would all love to see them as they are very well done, and quite good looking.
Purpleheart 11th September 2006, 08:58 PM Wow, you guys are doing some really amazing work. It looks like a bit of competition is making everyone strive for excellent results.
Must be a tricky working on such a small scale.
If anyone is interested, try googleing "samsara cues". These guys make some amazing pool cues using old school techniques.
Look in their cue gallery for some good ideas and patterns that could be applied to pen making.
Cheers, and keep up the awsome work.
PS - Who will be first to built a butterfly design on a pen ??
Auzzie turner 12th September 2006, 08:12 PM posting a poll?
DJ’s Timber 12th September 2006, 11:16 PM G'day Guys & Guyettes
Unfortunately I have been held up in Melb and prob won't be back home till the weekend or early next week. I would suggest you put up the poll now and I will post my picture up when I can get to it. I don't think it is fair on everyone to wait till I am ready.
I will also start a new thread for the October Pen swap with a list of current members and newies.
Anyone else wanting to join can let me know in that thread, which is here

DJ’s Timber 6th October 2006, 06:05 PM Hello People,
I was going thru my photo album and realised that I hadn't posted my pictures:eek:, so here they are. Sorry about that:o. Better late than never:).
I couldn't make up my mind on whether to use gold or silver, so I use one of each
ss_11000 6th October 2006, 06:32 PM dj. they are both very nice. to bad its one isn't a pencil, it would make a very unique and brilliant set.
personally i like the gold best.
greenie. etc
cheers
lubbing5cherubs 6th October 2006, 06:38 PM Nice Job
Toni
Skew ChiDAMN!! 6th October 2006, 08:49 PM Tsk, tsk! To the penalty box!
