Thank you Gabriel, It was just a quickie. Regards, Bob

Thank you April, This is my first one so it's been stressful and exciting all at the same time. Regards, Bob

Thank you Carl, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This will be my first show. Regards, Bob

Thank you Bob, You are welcome for the shout out, I wanted to do a more proper one since the last one was a quickie. I am hoping to do a short how to video for craft shows if all goes well. Regards, Bob

Thank you Larry, I always appreciate hearing from you and exchanging information and ideas. Regards, Bob

Thank you Harry, I'm really hoping this goes well. Regards, Bob

Thank you Nick, I hope so too. It has been stressful getting ready but I'm excited. Regards, Bob

Hope your craft show went well. Thanks again. Chuck

Thank you Chuck, Day one was ok but I need day two to be as well or better to really make it successful. Regards, Bob

Thank you.

Gertie, You can PM it to me. I'd love to see it. Regards, Bob

Thank you Robbie. Regards, Bob

Thank you J.D., It's been a while so it felt kind of odd making it but I got right back in the groove. Regards, Bob

Best of luck to you at your show. I want to make a how to video about craft shows if I get a few minutes. Regards, Bob

Thank you Jeffrey, I hope it goes well, this is my first one. Regards, Bob

Thank you Fredrik, I wanted simple too because I didn't want to take away from the pens. Regards, Bob

Thank you, The last thing I wanted to do was take away from the pens so I kept it real simple. Regards, Bob

Thank you Steve, The show wasn't all that bad. The weather was great and it would have been nice to sell a few more pens. But it is what it is. Thanks for the complement on the beard. It was kind of grown on a whim. Regards, Bob

Thank you David, Let's just say it was a learning experience, when I add up all the costs, I'm still in the red. I hope I can figure out the best formula and turn it around because doing the shows is fun. Regards, Bob

What a great complement, thank you very much. Regards, Bob

+Chris Landreth Thank you, Luckily this project isn't all that bad to make. Regards, Bob

Thank you Michael, It was a real quick functional project. Thanks, there seems to be a lot more grey this year. Regards, Bob

Not to worry one day it will be completely white like mine. LOL

Thank you Ron, With all the complements, I think I'll keep it for a while. Regards, Bob

Thank you Ron, With all the complements, I think I'll keep it for a while. Regards, Bob

Pen display holder is nice. Thinking the same thing about the beard. It is a nice fit for you. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you David, It will get tested out on Saturday. Thanks for the complement on the beard, I was Kind of unsure. Regards, Bob

Thanks Donald, I grew it on a whim and was kind of unsure but it's growing on me. :^) Regards, Bob

Good luck with the craft show!

Thanks Donald, It went pretty good today, I need one more day like that to make it really worth while. Regards, Bob

Thank you, I really think that bead tumbler would have worked. I plan to try it again, maybe as a whirligig. Regards, Bob

I used a Forstner bit. You could use a standard bit with no problem at all. Regards, Bob

Thank you, This is my first show so I'm testing the water with pens and if it goes well we will expand next year. Regards, Bob

That was just a countersink bit I picked up at Lowe’s. I’m sorry but I don’t have measurements for the stands and when I quit doing shows I donated them to another pen turner who was getting started. Regards, Bob

+Grant Emory Hello Greg, I just used a standard wood bit. I can send you a photo as well as the brand if you'd like but there probably the most common bit. Bob

+Imelda Daly Hello Imelda, I believe I used a 1/2" Forstner bit. Pretty much any size will work as long as it will cradle your pen. Regards,Bob

Brendan, I am shooting some video at your request and will attempt a craft show video. Thank you for the idea. Regards, Bob

Bobby, I have only made two and they were for me. Regards, Bob

Oh ok. Well if you ever do let me know because I don't have the tools and skill to make that myself lol. Thank you

Hello John, The show is Kuntzfest in New Harmony, IN. It's the southern tip of Indiana. Regards, Bob

I really don't have a magic number, I just try to imagine what I would be willing to pay for the pen if I were buying it. People here in the Mid-West are very frugal. I could probably ask more in other areas of the country. I make my pens and sell them to buy more tools and consumables. I look at it as trading my services for the things I want. I am content with that. Regards, Bob
