Thank you, your videos are very calming and informing.

[@MadNerdWorkshop]

Thank you for that and thanks for watching.

[@michaeldequatro1012]

Thank you for the video. I just started making my own blanks and I need all the help I can get. By the way, your clock needs a new battery...lol

[@MadNerdWorkshop]

Thanks fro watching michaeldequatro. Yeah that clock stop working a long time ago, but it was a gift from my player when I coached a soccer team some time ago. So I keep it there until I get a better clock to replace it.

[@carlosramos680]

I know this sound. I also have a Samsung wash machine. Lol

[@MadNerdWorkshop]

Good ear, that is the machine. Thanks for Watching.

[@Tom_Samad]

Do you sell your pen blanks? If so, how do you sell them? Online or at pen shows?

[@MadNerdWorkshop]

Sorry to say Tom, I do not sell them. I just make them for my own use and to give as presents.

[@lotsaguffaws]

Who is that Goddess in the photograph behind you?

[@MadNerdWorkshop]

She is my wife for 33+ years now.
