Hello! its me, keep popping in to have a look at what you are all doing.

Well I haven't been turning many pens lately as lost sense of feelings in my fingers and can't feel the edges of the bushes and added to that can't stand that long either its been a bit of a challenge..

Added to that I have been making quite a few boxes that kept me busy as well.

So, finally managed to make these Tempests and a few Epsilon kits as well since Christmas. :banana:

This one was my first for a while and is a little overturned at the nib end:rolling:

Eamonn I hope the sensitivity issue is not permanant. Love the Tempest pens. Purple is my favorite.

Hi Eamonn,
Hope your issues are only short term my friend. Love the colourful pens.

A lovely set there Eamonn. I do hope your problems are temporary. Best Wishes

Unfortunately it seems as though it may well be, just have to adapt how I do things. Learnt that longer index finger nails help out over the bushes, always a away around things tho eh!

Had MRI and results between #L1&2 showing signs of cervical nerve impingement, must be due to carrying that great big head around eh!

Thanks Mark,

I was digging around my blanks draw and found some of Mervin’s PR cast blanks at the back so couldn’t resist bringing them out. They are the Purple, red and blue & white blanks.

I have a few more so will have to get them turned as well.

I totalled a couple of Pen tubes at first but getting the new feel of things now..

Always a good feeling to get back in the saddle after a break, especxially as your has been enforced by your health. I hope they get to the bottom of it Eamonn, and in the meantime, I agree with that others - especially that Mervin red and white.
