Fireman’s pen with inlay kit

Fireman Pen Kit Back In Stock!  Yes, we have a VERY limited supply of them in fact by the time you read this they may be out of stock again.  However, we are expecting a very large shipment of them the second week of July but for now we do have some – so get them while they are HOT! (sorry for the bad pun!)

On another note – this Thursday July 6th I am actually going to take a day off and take the kids to the Jersey Shore to eat junk from one end of the boardwalk to the other and ride all the rides!  So if you call and no one answers that is why – we will be back on Friday but on Thursday we are going to have fun!

Monday morning starts another week long Fine Writing Instrument class followed by a

Loaded Car

Newly Expanded Facility!

weekend Bangle Making Class.  As you can see my Expedition is loaded with supplies for the students for this 7 day stretch.  Marc Adams just added this magnificent new turning center.  The sold out 15 student class will have a lot of work to do but it will be FUN!

I will keep you updated – Happy Turning – Barry

New Survival Pen

Just Arrived the New Survival Pen – Three items in one! You can start a fire, break glass and take names with this new pen!  The unique cap portion of the pen contains a carbide glass breaker.  The lower barrel contains the flint fire rod when struck against the clip, it cause a spark which is used to start a fire!  This pen just may save your life someday okay not so dramatic – but it is pretty cool!
