Since we've been on the subject, would you recommend or point me to good blades? I'm running a Sears Craftsman 16" scroll saw. I'm prepairing to do some...
There are new gallery additions in Don Ward's and Dale Dutridge's galleries. You can find them in the PMG galleries section at http://www.turtlewoodworks.com ...
Nice going, Dale! I think I feel like you about the pen... nice as a prototype. Somehow the proportions lengthwise strike me as a little off, and the clip...
... I did not use a centering drill. So I guess I was lucky, however the concentricity of the hole is not critical. All it is, is a pass through for the...
Don't know how you drilled the hole down the middle of the bolt and did it so nicely. For my pentel pencils I had to drill a 5/32 hole in the end of a 1/4 rod...
... the concentricity of the hole is not critical. All it is, is a pass through for the refill. Of course! Totally irrelevant (within reason ;-) ... or a way...
Copper? I thought it was just either bad aluminum or a bad photo - now let's see - Patricia...a bad photograph...nawwwwwwwwwww! Actually I remember now that...
"I just love old age - it offers so many opportunities." Jay, Are you referring to Pat or the pen??? BB [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
First it did not matter if it was exact, it just needed to stay in the bolt and be big enough to pass the refill through. Second, I could not do it at all on...
Pat I recognised it as copper, possibly because that is what you typed out right there in black and white. Maybe you should have left it outside until it...
Randy, that answer could take hours to explain. First, what type of wood and how thick will you be cutting? Will you be stack cutting the pieces or bevel...

First let me welcome you aboard, Brian. It is good to have another talented craftsman/ artist in our group. Then let me say I am blown away by your pen. I...
Let me offer a pre-intro welcome to our group. Folks, I saw some of Brian's pens in Provo and he does some nice work as his masterpiece shows. I'm sure we will...
Brian, Welcome aboard and great looking pen! Barry ... From: Kurt Hertzog To: Pmggroup Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 1:00 AM Subject: [Pen-Makers' Guild] New PMG...
Brian, The fountain pen I was able to 'talk you out of' in Provo is now proudly displayed in our collection. Rich K. tried to wear it out through excessive...
Dale, Pretty impressive work. You're definitely on to something there. I like where it's going. I'm looking forward to version 2.0 also. I know I'm biased, but...
Don, Nice work. The last gavel pen was sharp. But this one is definitely an improvement to me. I know they're very similar. But besides removing the...
Brian, Welcome...and that's a very nice pen you got there, please explaine the mechanics. Looking forward to ssing more of your work. Glenn ... From: Kurt...
Mike, Thanks for the kind words. This gavel pen was a bit more of a challenge. The CB is hidden in the beads. It contains the threads for receiving the nib...
Dale, Once again, very creative! I'm very impressed with your ideas on these pens. Although this one is too bulky, (agreed), I'm looking forward to your...
The metal lathe has crossed my mind, but the damage it would do to my wallet has stopped me so far :-) Plus I LOVE the feel of wood and working it by hand. ......
Yes this one is too bulky and looks..... odd. I will keep working. The clip is my big sumbling block. How to get it sturdy without it taking over the pen...
Barry: Real good info! I also looked over the Artisan scroll saw blades on your site. My saw takes the pinned blades and are 5 " from pin to pin. The ...
