I saw all these great pens made by other members here. I’d like to make some but I don’t have a lathe yet. So I decided to make something that holds them.
I used some scraps to make this. The top is mahogany and I’m not sure the what the bottom piece is. I think it’s Brazilian teak. What ever that is. This was a really fun project and it was really made by a duck. You can tell by the photos. Drilling the pen holders at an angle. After I routed out the slot that holds the bird food I drilled the holes to screw on the top part. Screwing in some stainless steel screws that holds the bottom to the top. Spraying on several coats of shellac. Sanding between coats of shellac. Self portrait. Quack!
Thanks for wadding over to view my pro-duck. Some of you will see the fun and humor in this post. Some will, for some physiological reason get angry at this project. Maybe they were damaged by being treated by a quick doctor, like the patients who had the wrong leg removed by a quack. There’s 3 or 4 of them roaming around in here. We call that one Pottz. The others are called Bentlyj, Garry G and maybe DarkLighting. He doesn’t know weather he’s in or out.
Thank You Martin for posting this project on the general web. I looked up DIY Pen And Pencil project and mine was the first to come up. 👍 I know you’re programming savvy has aloud some great projects that help some beginning woodworkers to advance.
Thanks Dutchy Splinter. Thanks. As you can see in the authentic photos, I have no trouble holding a pencil in my beak. The stubby one may present a problem.
you saw that huh, me too ! what a phoney bastard !!! and he wears those stupid gloves to hide his hands. and what a coincidence he has art abilities like james does ? you dont know how hard i bit my lip to stop from ripping him up ! i dont get why someone with james talent lowers himself to such a pathetic level ?
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
