Thanks Guys,
I am involved with a group that turns pens for our troops, however there are several chapters of penturners on IAP that also turn pens for the troops and one group has issued a challange to the other chapters to see who can turn the most pens for our troops by Oct.1. So I am trying to get a head start. Our chapter is planning on having a turning day in Sept, so I am going ahead and trying to get kits, blanks, and start on some myself. All pens made will be turned in to a gentleman in FLORIDA, who distributes them. I have some blanks and a few kits donated. Our chapter has set a goal to turn 100 pens on the desinated day. I will try to have the blanks cut and drilled, and tubes glued in for the day of turning.
So any help will be appreciated. I personally turn 20 per month and hand in at our monthly meeting.
There is a group of men that are called the woodchippers, we meet one day a month, and turn pens for the troops. We turn on average from 100 to 200 pens on that day.
