Pen Swap - Matches Made

Blind_Squirrel · Aug 5, 2007

Here are the results from this thread: http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26319&whichpage=5

We have more "seasoned" turners than we do "newer" turners (which to me is a good thing).

Here are the guidelines:

A = Newer turner
B = Seasoned turner

A & B contact each other via PM and work out what type of pens they are going to swap with each other. A makes a pen and sends it to B. B makes a pen and sends it to A. This gives A an opportunity to see a seasoned pen turners pen. If A requests it, and if B is willing, B gives constructive feed back to A on the pen they receive to help A become an even better pen maker.

Please make sure you take a picture of the pen you create before you send it off to your pen swap partner. I will create a post your pen swap photo thread. When the partner receives the pen you post your photo in the thread.

I would like to see all pens arrive at their destination by 30 September.

If for any reason someone does not receive a pen I will do my best to make a pen and send it to you.

Here are the matches:
Newer <--> Seasoned
Texatdurango <--> CaptG
txbatons <--> ashaw
dalemcginnis <-->
CSue <--> cigarman
kcordon <--> jtate
MarkHix <--> doddman70

No local turner to show me the ropes. No one to send a pen to.[

Thanks, now I don't feel so lonely.[8D]

Firefyter-emt · Aug 5, 2007

Hey Scott.. Sorry I did not keep up on the post, but I was one of the first who was interested. My fault for not checking sooner, if you still need someone I can go either way. So if you like I can pair up with penmaker..

wudnhed · Aug 5, 2007

Scott, If you need another match LOML can join the swap.
LMK[

BTW, he is under 100 years and pens[

I'll send a pen to Nolan, as I also missed this and the VOICE told me Nolan needed a swapmate.

I would like to be put in this if there is anyone else. I have been out of the loop for a while - but cleaned my workbench off the other day and sharpened all the tools.

Scott,

I fall in the newer category and would love to participate, but totally missed this thread. Too bad, because I was excited after reading the original thread. If there's still room and it's not too late I'd still love to do it!

Thanks for organizing it...

Pat

By now most of you should have contacted your partner via PM. If you have not, or have not heard from your partner, please do so!

Let me know (either via this thread or via PM) when you send and receive your pens.

Thanks!
