Your welcome Rob, and glad you like it 👍 Your welcome Keith 👍

Nourishing, it definitely is, and looks delicious 👍 That’s my weakness, but I have cut back and have one a week now, and no egg.

Thank you Rob, it’s Zebra wood and no two pieces are the same 👍 It’s very nice wood to turn.

Thank you for your comment. I finished this one off this afternoon, and very pleased with it 👍

I will take a look, thank you 👍

Beautiful looking sticks, and a bargain for someone, when you consider the time and skill you put into making a stick.

Yes Gordon, I have looked at them but haven’t been able to find dimensions? They don’t look difficult to make 👍

Cheers thank you Dave 👍 Marsh Man’s pen is the 2nd from the left, in the photo of 4 Very pleased how they turned out, and look better than the photos.

I made a Zebra wood pen yesterday for Marsh Man and whilst in the shed I prepped a few wooden pen blanks for turning today. I really enjoy making the wooden pens and they are very easy and straightforward to make. The turning part is the easy bit, but the drilling of the blacks to accept the brass tubes is a bit time consuming. The zebra wood pens look really nice once sanded and sealed and polished. Each zebra wood pen is different and unique. Marsh Man’s pen is fitted with an antique gold pen kit and looks very nice completed. The wood blanks in the photo is Ash, Zebra wood, Indian Rosewood,Zebra wood and the 5th pen in the photo is Black Walnut.

Cheers, yes sadly it comes a bit quicker than I anticipated. I will always do something, as I can’t sit in the house, watching carp on TV. I won’t shoot any more, but hopefully will be able to work the dogs once sorted out 👍 Cheers, thanks Chris for your comments and it’s not fair on my wife worrying if I’m going to be okay.

Brilliant, your talent is truly wasted on PW. Go out onto the streets, and you could be the next Banksy 😂👍

Yes regarding the DVLA, my daughter works in the Driver Medical Dept. In Swansea. I’m not driving since I had the last episode, and to be honest I don’t miss it. Both my wife and daughter drive.

Yes, I’ve had them fitted previously for a week, and the all singing and all dancing model for 10 days, and all clear. Sorry if your having your tea, and view the photos 😳

Thanks for your comment 👍 It’s not the knee condition which is the deciding factor, but the few episodes I have had collapsing unconscious with minimal warning. When I come around, I’m sweating like a pig, chest pains and pins and needles in my arm. I end up in hospital and the necessary tests are carried out, only to come back all clear and no heart attack indicated. Which is good news, but still can’t explain what causes it, and just put it down to a blip. Not exactly the prognosis I want to hear from the hospital.

Well done Dave and a cracking video. I have had a couple of episodes where I’ve collapsed unconscious, and luckily not while shooting. The latest episode was a few weeks ago whilst walking the dogs, and felt really light headed and had difficulty walking in a straight line, and felt I was going too collapse. I managed to get to a spot where my wife could collect me and the dogs off the mountain, and the ironic part was I sat on the floor against the railings of the local cemetery, awaiting her collection. After that day, the decision was a no brainier 👍 Most of my shooting is carried out around the Presselli Mountains in West Wales and is roughly 65 miles from my house one way. At the moment I’m not driving, and chauffeured around which makes a change, as I’m normally the chauffeur 😁
