    Help...How Do I Turn This Off?

    After 70 years of woodturning I made my first kit pen a few months ago. I wanted to make a few turned gifts. Well, I've given some away, I've sold some, (without trying to) but look what's left. I need to be turning something else. I have some kits left and a lot of blanks, so I keep putting out pens.....

    I am curious what you folks sell those for these days. Ten years ago I bought 3 form an ex-coworker who made them with her hubby. Cost me $30.00 each.

    Wally, not into the pens much, but what caught my eye was "70 years of woodturning"!! Congrats on such a long life generally, and on such a satisfying life of woodworking!

    The time to turn it off so to speak would have been 70.5 years ago!

    Wow - you got bit bad! Great group of pens! Beautiful work! Glad to see you haven't gotten burned out on turning yet! Gives me hope that the Vortex will keep showing me something new to keep me interested! Thanks for sharing!

    And Wally your point is????

    Nice group of pens. Don't worry Wally you aren't the only one. I just made 70 pens to display for Christmas. Sold about 30 more.

    Pretty nice pile of pens. Mine always get given away before I gather that many. Haven't tried to sell many. Did send a bunch in for the troops.

    Wally,
    Have never turned a pen, but you could send me all that left over stuff so you could get back to turning and burning.

    Beautiful pens Wally! Thanks for sharing. With the variety and your eye for design I suspet there will be many more before any signs of burn out.

    Regards, Steve
