Pen Swap???

[davinci27]

Anybody interested in a pen swap for the meeting? I talked to rojo22 and he said he's good with the idea. I haven't put together all the details, but I thought I'd see if anybody was interested in doing a swap at the next meeting.

I've thought about doing it a couple of different ways. We could do a standard pen swap where people sign up and get matched with a partner in advanced, or we could do a mystery swap where everybody brings a pen to swap and we match them up at the actual meeting.

If you are interested in participating in a swap chime in and let me know what you think and what would work well for you for the swap.

This is an awesome idea! Count me in, and I would like to vote for the "mystery" swap.

Thanks

Robert

Pick me, pick me!

Ben -- put me down for the swap - always happy to get a "free" pen! :biggrin:

I vote for the mystery swap.

Not sure a real pen turner would want one of mine, but I`m game. I too vote for the mystery swap.

 

[davinci27]

Perry, Not sure I'm a real turner, but I'd be happy to have one of your pens. oooohhhh look at those pretty knots and finials

 

[reddwil]

Count me in.

[Rojo22]

YES! Instant gratification. You will bring a pen, get a pen! Sweet deal huh?

 

[NascarBowl]

I'm new at this, but if i can come, count me in.

 

[Steve Busey]

You're in. :biggrin:

(PS - got a real name?)

 

[NascarBowl]

Mr. Nascar Bowl Jr., had a rough childhood... just kidding. Gene is my name, well the one I go by, among others...as you can probably guess.

I haven't chimed in much, but I'll be putting together some basic instructions. Essentially I think everybody who want to participate will bring in their pen for swapping. After all the pens are in, we'll assign a number to each pen, then match up folks to swap. I'll come up with some morespecific rules and post them, but in the mean time if you are interested, just post so we can get an idea of how many are planning to participate.

 

[brianp]

I haven't turned a pen in almost 5 years. Just looked through some boxed stuff in storage and found something that resembles a pen that I will trade. I am really looking forward to meeting some of you folks on the 20th.

 

[mick]

Since I'm getting to come to the meeting I'll throw my name in for the swap!

 

[Steve Busey]

Since I'm getting to come to the meeting I'll throw my name in for the swap!

But Mick, we're supposed to swap pens, not names...

:wink: :biggrin:
