Learned how to make a friendship pen and made some blanks ready

[mbeach]

A big thanks goes out to Nick (NZAPP1) for letting me come to his shop yesterday. He taught me how to make the friendship pen and let me use some of his tools to get some pen blanks ready. He has some pics... so he will have to post them. Thanks!

Just to be clear: these are friendship-style pens. :gar-Bi There is one, and only one, original friendship pen! And I of course forgot to bring it to the crawl to pass on. :BangHead:

My BAD.... Sorry Doug!!! I meant that we made a pen 'LIKE' the one and only friendship pen.
