$Buck$ and EPR Pen Blanks

Precautions to be observed when turning any acrylic:
  • Use very sharp tools while turning and take light cuts. 

  • Wear face and eye protection and keep observers away from the turning area.

  • DO NOT turn at excessive speeds.

  • Did I mention sharp tools?

$Buck$ Pen Blanks

These blanks are made of shredded U.S. currency and acrylic resin.  Since the main ingredient is paper there WILL be little air bubbles that will become exposed during the turning process.  I strongly recommend that you take the time to view the two instructional videos that Ed Davidson produced showing you how to deal with hiding the brass tube and filling the little holes.  Did I mention that sharp tools are an absolute necessity?

EPR Blanks

EPR pen blanks are available in 10 different two and three color-blend combinations.  Each pen blank set (pair) will be a little different from the next with unique swirls and blending of the colors.   Each blank is hand made and those currently available are listed below.
 
The EPR pen blanks turn and finish like a normal acrylic pen blank.  Sharp tools, a light touch and the appropriate finishing techniques will produce a beautiful, one-of-a-kind pen!

Each blank measures 3/4" in diameter.  One blank is  x 2 1/2" long (minimum) and the other is 3 1/4" long.  These pen blanks are sold in pairs and one pair will produce one complete pen including closed-end pens.  Keep in mind that these blanks are handmade and no two are exactly alike. 
 
All the cigar pens and bottle stoppers shown below
were made and photographed by Ed Davidson using the EPR material.
 
Each pair of EPR pen blanks cost $3.99.
 
Please keep in mind that these blanks are individually hand made.  Colors can and will vary and the mix patters can also vary from the blanks shown below.

Mesa, AZ Convention Center

My personal opinion...
 
I am a forty-two year resident of Yuma, Arizona.  My home town is located on the Arizona/California/Mexico border along side the Colorado River. Our country has been invaded over the past 25 years and I am no longer willing to keep my head down and not say anything for fear of offending someone.  If my personal beliefs effect my business - I'm willing to live with that.  If I have offended someone - I'm willing to live with that too.

I have lived in this great country for over 60 years and I am not going to back down from any threat directed at the United States from any threat - foreign or domestic.  As Davy Crockett may have said: "Bring em' on!" (although I think the words may have been stated it in much stronger language).  If you would like to see for yourself what this country is up against take a look at this website mexica-movement .

If you would like to help out Arizona please consider donating to our state's legal defense fund by clicking on the link below.  This is not just an Arizona problem - illegal immigration affects all of us.  Should you believe as I do and want to help out then put your money where your mouth is.  70% of us living in Arizona approve of SB1070 and we certainly appreciate your support.  Someday we might be able to financially support your state in accomplishing the same legislation Arizona passed.

$5.00, $10.00 and $20.00 donations are most welcome.  Thank you for your consideration.

Update July 29, 2010   We are not giving up!

What is a Veteran?   A "Veteran" -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of up to and including his or her life.

It was 113 here yesterday....
   
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.  He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.  When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?''  This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.. 'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.  'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'  The man gestured, and the gate began to open.  'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.  'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.  As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.  'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'  'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.' 'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog. 'There should be a bowl by the pump.'  They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.  The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.  'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.  'This is Heaven,' he answered. 'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.' 'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell.'  'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?' 'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.' 

Author unknown but I've been told that this story was presented in an episode of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone".
