My name is Dale J Dansie, I sell my products on JustAnotherWoodcrafter.com. I have been doing woodworking since I was in junior high school but serious woodworking since 1999. I love working and creating beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces of art from wood. There is nothing that feels and looks like natural wood, the grain, and the beauty of its color. Here is a small sample of pens that I have created for myself, yes I am a pen hoarder.
I wanted to participate in Kickstaters’ Make/100 for two reasons. First to get exposure, second to share my woodworking passion and love.
In this project, I will be making 100 Pau Ferro Artisan Jr. Statesman II Postable Rollerball Pen with Rhodium/Black Titanium parts. What is a Postable pen? It is a pen that has a postable threaded end cap which makes attaching the pen cap to the pen quick and easy.
Because of my love of woodworking and making pens I wanted to do this project. I have hand-selected and purchased all of the wood I will need to accomplish this project. I have also secured with my vendor the pen parts need to accomplish this project.
The Make/100 project starts January 1st and runs until January 31st. Once the project has completed and funded I will start making the pens. The completion date for all pens will be March 31. Pens will be shipped as completed and in order or payment received.
Funds will be used to pay off my completed shop expansion and to purchase additional woodturning chisels.
As stated above, I want to get exposure and to share my love of woodcrafting. I love it when people write back to me and let me know that the pen they received is 10 times better looking than the picture. Maybe I should take photography classes? Nah, I love making beautiful works of art from wood more.
The biggest risk for this project would be that my preferred vendor ran out of pen parts. My contingency would to use one or more other providers.
