My wife was busy with pen wraps today and I’m very pleased with them.  I can’t wait to see them with strings and buttons.  🙂

And my finger – still a bit sensitive, and hurts if I bang it on something – but better.

Only a couple nights left! Drawing is May 3rd – 9pm Central US time. Get in while you still can. 🙂

Money pulled from paypal and a check made out to my school.  This is going to help a couple kids out with college.  I’m so proud to be able to give this.  🙂

Thanks everybody!

Cleaning plastic junk away from the tool rest is not important.  For over a year I’ve been brushing away bits of plastic junk with my finger.  This morning my finger got cut.

Caught between the turning blank and the tool rest.  Hurt.  The pain wasn’t so bad.  I was putting a band aid on and had to remind my oldest boy to go brush his teeth.  So my head was with it.

I went to sit down and everything started spinning and went black.  My kids were talking to me, asking me what happened, why I yelled in the shop.  All I could hear was mumbling.  A few minutes later I went and laid down on the couch under my youngest boy’s spiderman blanket.  He didn’t like me using his blanket so he came and laid down with me to make sure I didn’t mess it up.  Yes – he said that.  🙂  My kids are so cool.

So that was a couple hours ago and I just woke up from a weird nap where several of my students came to my house to CLEAN it.  I guess the thought of them in my house scared me awake.  😀  Hehehehe…

But I learned a little lesson and I’m going to go back to work now.  🙂

I’ll take a picture when I have the guts to take the bandage off…

We just reached $2000!  That means the scholarship is A GO!
All the money raised after that will go towards next year’s scholarship.  Remember, that one will be available nationwide.  I’ll put up an application on my website to download and fill out in the next week or two.

Thanks everybody!!

New from Newton Pens!

Pouches!

All of your pens will now come in little home made pouches.  My wife has told me for months that if I bought her a sewing machine she would make pouches for your pens.  And here they are!  😀

Well… here are the first attempts.  She’s having a great time figuring out ribbon and draw string and flaps and folds and just having fun.  🙂

 

Remember – all you have to do is send $10 check or money order or with paypal to [email protected] and I’ll assign you a number based on the order you buy in.  If you’re #10 to buy a ticket, then you’ll be #10.  May 3rd I’ll use a random number picker to pick from all the numbers taken, for example 1-32, and the winning number will get a pen!  And the money collected will go towards helping a high school student realize their college goals!
