Finally Did It . . .

I finally did it . . . I finally made myself go out to the garage and do something. I made a couple ball point pens from Corian. When ya think of Corain, most people think of counter tops. It isn't a cheap counter top, but waaaay cheaper than granite. The Corian polished up real nice. Wasn't sure how it would polish. I love making pens from acrylic. It polishes very well and you never know what is inside. Been a long time since I did anything with my lathe. I'm definitely out of practice. My stuff is scattered all over the garage which didn't help matters. I did some re-arranging last fall and haven't gotten everything where I need it yet. My plan . . . whenever I REALLY get in the mood is to make some fancy, high dollar pens and see if I can get anything for them on-line. The other plan is start a collection of pens made of every exotic wood I can get may hands on.

I sold a set of dog theme cookie cutters to someone in Thailand yesterday. Now, I'm pretty sure that the Koreans and a couple other countries in that part of the world eat dog. I wonder if the Thai do too. Makes me wonder why they would want dog type cookie cutters . . . but then I sell a set of farm animal cutters and we eat those animals, so maybe I'm wonderin about nothin again . . .
