Addiction?

[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

I've been making pens for a while. About 10(?) years or so. Kids moved out, I am "semi retired". I've been getting up on Christmas Day for the past 5+ years and turning a new pen. Is this an addiction or what?! A nice box of components rolled in Tuesday and after putting my goodies away I set aside my new "Steampunk" component set to make up this morning.

I don't think this addiction is too bad...well maybe!

I've got two pens cut, drilled, tubed and trimmed. Ready to turn ( Faith, Hope and Love and a Dragon) I plan to turn them today, scroll a couple of pieces and "tidy up" my workshop. So you are not alone.

Very nice. I would call it a tradition, not an addiction. I've always liked the steampunk pens, I'm going to have to make one some day.

Sounds like a nice tradition! I'm hoping to head out to the shop today myself.

I like it! Both your addiction and the pen. Have a blessed Christmas.

Nice pen; looks like a cross between IT and S&M. :biggrin:

Randy, I would say, you are totally consumed. Beyond addiction. Makes one wonder, what is going through your mind? :biggrin: That is awesome. Thanks for sharing and, don't stop.:wink:

Yup, you are addicted. And that is a good thing.

Addiction... Hobby... Avocation... Tradition... All applies, but you are DOOMED !

However, have fun and try to enjoy! There are worse "addictions" to struggle through.
