$200 in tubes????

[Russianwolf]

yep, I just bought $200 worth of tubes (enough for 365 pens by my count) and more resin. Already have more stuff in house to make Liquid Rainbow (Opal FX), Dichroic and something new that I think I may have licked now.

Only think I couldn't find was Squire tubes. Anyone have a source?

PSI but you have to cut them down yourself.

Not sure anyone would be that interested in pen tubes that have been licked. :tongue:

Liquid rainbow sounds like something people would put on their tongue from the 60's

Hey Mike thanks for reminding me I have to order tubes. I hate that part. I wish I could just order them all from one place. Lol. Never found a source for squire either. I just buy the 3/8" tubes and cut them down.

So we get to the age old statement. "Are you complaining or bragging?"

Looking at my list, I see a bunch of tubes that match the diameter (.368) but with different lengths. One is the Berea Euro Screw Cap at 1.98 long compared to the Squire at 2.01.... 3 hundreths? Wonder if that would work?

Maybe a bit of both...... that's a LOT of tubes to cast up.

I'm drowning in tubes.

Both boxes have arrived and MAN, that's a LOT of brass.

Resin Came in too, so it's back to work for me this weekend.

Have to prep the next experimental blank too.

Is this a Pen-a-day project?

I certainly hope I can do them faster than that. :tongue:

Fortunately I'm not making the pens all the way to completion. I'll leave that up to you guys.
