I am currently turning handmade wood/acrylic pens on a lathe, and hope to be able to pick up a little bit of money on the side by selling them. All the funds will help with school and the shop equipment needed to make the pens in the first place. They keep getting better and better with each pen I've made. I should have some photos for ya'll soon to enjoy. If you are interested in any particular pen let me know! I can even make custom pens with specific woods that you may be interested in, and several different pen styles (some pencils too).
I just finished reading Book One of the Septimus Heap trilogy called "Magyk." It was a good book and would reccomend it to anyone who likes fiction and fantasy novels. I moved on to read the 5 books of the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." So far they are unbelieveably awsome.
I am designing a piece of furniture for a woodworking class here at BYU. I havn't decided on the wood material to use, but it is going to be a small night stand with a inset drawer.
