This week’s episode is sponsored by Penn State Industries. I turn the new Bullet Cartridge pen and give a complete kit away at the end of the show. Also I turn this pen from acrylic and discuss how to work with this material. Finally PSI was kind enough to send two bottles of Plastics Polish so I test out this finishing method to great success.

Enjoy the show!

This week I share my research on 1st century woodworking, how I built this project, and the results from the Sunday school class. Two excellent resources for this research were:

“Roman Woodworking” by Roger Ulrich

and

“Egyptian Woodworking” by Geoffrey Killen

I hope you enjoy this project and please let me know if there are any questions. This week’s podcast is almost 40 minutes and I had to edit quite a bit so I am sure there may be some gaps in the information. Thanks to all the Lumberjocks, Kari Hultman, and Christopher Schwarz for their information.

Finally, if you didn’t enter for the last pen giveaway from Penn State Industries, I will be giving away one of their new Cartridge Pen kits on the January 26th show. Send me an email to let me know you want to be entered.

The blog of the week is www.sawdustislife.com run by Jeremiah Rodriguez.

Today I started filming for the giveaway episode of this above Majestic Jr. pen kit. This pen is similar to Jr. Gentleman or Jr. Statesman pen that Craft Supplies offers, but I am really pleased with the lines and details on this particular kit. This is the first Majestic Jr. that I have turned and it was very simple and straightforward and comes together with a spectacular result.

This will definately make an outstanding gift to someone this holiday season or just a nice reward to yourself for making it through another year. I’m not going to show any pictures of the one I just finished here, you will all just have to tune into the podcast to be released Monday evening, November 24th. I will hold the drawing until 9 PM so for those of you who like the thrill of waiting until the last minute can get their emails in to me by then.

Good luck everyone!
