You're on Ron. I have been turning some ideas over, but will follow your advice and come up with something special. As for bringing you're equipment, I will never turn down learning something new, but with you going to Florida for the following week, that would be a lot of extra equipment to bring.
My father-in-law just joined the site and has his shop almost set up and is about to turn his first pen. He says he is coming as well, but I am trying to get him to post it himself.[;)]

I have limited tools and stuff, but if you need something and I have it, my tool box is your toolbox, just let me know what it is you need and I will bring it up on the 9th.

Marvelous!
The most important tool for me is my compound mitre saw. I say this because I am comfortable with it. So...I'll just throw it in the truck. Do we have a PH vise in the area? Or do I need to bring it.

Still popcorn? If someone will fire up a pit I'll BBQ whatever is laying around. Just keep your beloved pets out of my reach.[:D][;)]
 
I have a PH vice. My drill press is not exactly the best but should be fine. Just send me an email of anything you need and I will let you know what I have.
 
Skye,
I'm about 3 hours north of ATL... and depending on how much our Thanksgiving trip cost us, would like to try to make it... would enjoy meeting some faces. If we can make it, wife (Dianne) will attend too.
 
Sweet man, I'll put ya down for a big maybe. Keep in mind, it's just the price of gas and a soda if you do about 6 hours of driving in and out like me, lol. Hotel shmotel!
 
Let's remember to donate $10 each to Chris ..... to help cover food and drink expenses.

In addition to having Ron Mc demo his segmented pen skills, I'd also like to watch Chris turn a pen. How about it Chris?
 
We'll have to set up a donations bucket there.

Also adding Orgtech (Bruce) and his wife. Think we just broke 20!
 
It sounds like we are going to have a great crowd!

Andy,
I have been developing a prototype pen that will allow the buyer to change the design "at will" depending on their mood at the moment. I believe that after listening to some great music tonight and playing around that you will be given one of my first "Mood Pens"
 
Hey Ron,
I was folowing your advice and came up with a few new ideas. I finished the first one today, unless the next few jump out at me I will save this one for you. I was going to post a pic in the forum, but I will wait and let you see it first, unless you want a sneak peek.[;)] I will email you seperatly about bringing a few blanks with you.
Andy
 
Andy,
GOOD JOB! Hold on to that puppy so that the group can see it first![}:)]
My first attempt at the "Mood Pen" did not come out as planned. Well,....not to my standards. We all know I can be a little anal!
I will give it another go this weekend.

Are we still going to have a good crowd?

As far as I’m concerned, I’m going to make a pen there. Given my luck today, it’ll be a bust. We’ll see how it goes….
 
I plan on bringing a few pens to swap out for those who want to swap out....I will also bring a few kits that are pre drilled and ready to turn for those who cannot bring something or if your nonturner friends/spouses want to give it a try, I will be happy to teach someone how to turn their first pen.....I plan on bringing some pen blanks for trade bait as well....So if you have something interesting, or are looking for something interesting, let me know and I will try to have some there.....
 
OK...After looking at the map I have decided to take I20 into Atlanta.
Can someone give me some kind of directions as to where I need to go from there? It looks like I'll be within 100 miles on Friday night so I will be in the area.
 
I created an Evite and sent it to everyone who emailed me. Just email me if you haven't and I will add you to the Evite and you can get my address, etc.
 
Fantastic. Chris,
I'll be there with some goodies and CD's. Does everyone really want me to show them some of my secret methods? Or are they just playing?[;)]
 
I think I can safely speak for the group in saying there are two major items we'd like to see on the agenda ....

First, an official Ron Mc demonstration of designing, cutting and turning a segmented pen.

Second, a penturning demo by our host, Chris. So many of us stood there admiring his pens at the last Bubbasville-Atlanta.

As a side note: I think it would help if we had name tags with both our IAP user name and "real" names.

And, let's not forget the $10 donation to our host. I'll gather up the money at the get-together.
 
Sounds like a plan.

Our baby sitter fell through so it's going to be an extra pain in the butt to do, but I'm still planing on it though.
 
I'll be there and I'll bring my lathe (and its stand) and tools. I do need directions or at least an address so I can mapquest it. I'm coming from Nashville.
 
Chris,

Please send me the directions to your place at sandlersm@comcast.net. The 9th is a busy day for my wife and I. We have a luncheon function and an evening XMas office party. Hope to come by for a few hours if the luncheon ends by 1:30.

Buy a CD? Are you kidding? These are my music CD's that inspire me to create! These puppy's are like gold.[;)]
I look forward to meeting all of you in person and please understand that when you tell me your name and assume that I know who you are I will have the deer in the headlight look! I am very bad with names but know that when I get back to my computer I'll think to myself, "I'll be darn! I met that person!"

BTW....I can tell you everything I know in about 3 sentences!
[:D]

I've been so darn busy turning the 40 donation pens and filling orders and keeping up with my real job that I haven't had a chance to do a darn thing!
Hopefully tonight or tomorrow.[8)]
I'll have lots of blanks from my site with me for purchase so that you can save on shipping![:D]
I look forward to meeting everyone and having some fun.
