Like some eyes blanks that I sent you? That sounds fair...
I'm starting on them this week! (If I can get into the shop...)
I'd send you a pen too, to be fair!
What did you do in your shop today?

Played around on the lathe trying to learn a little. Just working the tools to see how to handle them and this popped in to my head. .40 cal bullet for size reference.
If the bullet doesn't do the job you can whack the heck out of them!
You need a blue lighter...
Also, Donny boy, you did tell me that you were in no hurry and whenever I got to them!

3 months ago...
And in those 3 months I've spent little time in the shop... Have blanks that have been under soak after vacuum and waiting for me to get them out and cure them for at least 4 weeks now. Shutting off the pump after running vacuum was the last time I did anything in the shop... Tried to even just cure the blanks this weekend, but didn't even get the time to do that.
Really hoping to get shop time - and get the vacuum pump running - by Thursday or Friday.

I don't feel so bad now!! I've got a batch in that I took out, dropped back in, took out again, put them back in, took out a third time, forgot they were out that time, and they sat out 2 - 3 days. Pulled vacuum on them again 2 - 3 weeks ago, and I think they're still under vacuum. 
Got a little turning done yesterday....
So what did you do after noon?
Other stuff.
I wish I had you energy. Nice work as always.
I noticed the razor blades in the upper left hand corner of Colin's picture... I would use them to cut my wrists if I had to try and turn 118 resin pens!
And Doc, there are 162 there....
Forgot to carry the one... 44 times
Get some after everyone is in bed.....
Lately, by the time that happens, I'm either too tired to get into the shop and trust myself with running tools or my wife has decided to stay up and guilt me into watching tv - where I promptly fall asleep on the couch (and she gets mad that I fell asleep on her - hey, I could've been awake still if I was in the shop!)
