A little while back I made this Mardi Gras Mayhem pen and about five minutes after finishing it the cap wouldn’t stay on.  It would thread on – sort of – but you could slip it right off. So why did this happen?  Well, I – in all of my wisdom and brilliance – made […]

So here I am with LOTS of hair. The orange thing is a t-shirt that my boy outgrew. I cut it up to keep the hair out of my face while working at the lathe. So why all the hair? Do I like having long hair? No. Not since high school. In my Senior AP […]

I got a triple broad Pelikan M1000 nib in the mail today. I’ve never used a 3B nib before. WOW.  Here it is in my Indian made eyedropper I bought about 2 years ago.  It came with the medium nib that was sold in the tortoise pen.  I love this pen. Pictured with my JEB […]
