Thanks BT, you of course have always been one of my favorites. I have ready every review and article that you ever wrote, and loved every minute of it. You are super special to me and the RWG. I thank you for me, and I thank you for RWG also. Sometimes we forget to give kudos when necessary... Cheers, Mike

Thank you, and how do you like it. Thanks for the support, I honestly really need added income right now! Cheers my friend,, mike mikellem

Bob, it's nice to hear these kind works from such a graceful, loving, caring and giving member! You have done it all for all, along with quite a few others. You guys need to be padded on the back individually, as this job you have is relentless and non gratifying except personally. Thanks again my friend Thanks for having me... This place has ALWAYS been my home away from home. Every day for many years, I would come home and jump online immediately, even though I was monitoring while working..OOPS! But it was always the best time in the world. It's like coming home at night to your family... I love you guys! Mike

Thanks Arthur, The pen you bought for your wife has always been one of my favorites. I hope she loves it as much as I do, and I think she will. Thanks again Arthur for the support, it really helps me out at the moment. Cheers, Mike

Hi Robert, Hope all is well I was reading your note above, and you state that the last time we saw each other was at an LA Area RWG get together. You forgot that since then, we met 2 times at Jerry's Deli, right down the hill from your house. So I guess I still have a little memory... Great to see all you guys again... Which I could hang out more, except I can't. I need to make pens and sell them for income. Any more pen buyers? ) Cheers Mates, Mikellem Mike

Hi Guys, I wanted to drop in for one minute to thank the members who have supported me so far. We have sold 4 pens so far and hopefully the forum will buy more. I am working on a project. It's a pen with a rolex dial wrapped the pen with acrylic over it.. I wanted Rolex Dials, Reps are ok, they just have to be flawless. Also, any other Major Brand Watch Dial I would be interested in. Please let me know what you have, and how much you want the your dials. I am not in a position to spend a lot of money for a rep dial.. Hope all is well with all my friends.. I am hanging in there... Cheers Mates, Mike (mikellem)

I want to personally ThanK You guys for your support. I have sold 4 pens so far and HOPEFULLY we call sell more. I NEED YOU GUYS TO HELP ME OUT..... I am trying to make these very cool Rolex Dial Pens except I am having a hard time getting any Rolex Dials. Offshore and Ken have been working very hard, but to no avail yet. HOW MANY MEMBERS HAVE AN EXTRA ONE OR TWO ROLEX DIALS IN GOOD CONDITION OR NEW THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO SELL ME AT A REASONABLE PRICE SO I CAN MAKE THESE PENS FOR EVERYBODY. COME ON GUYS....WHO HAS A SPARE ROLEX DIAL IN GOOD SHAPE? OR MAYBE 2 DIAL? PLEASE PM ME AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU IMMEDIATELY. I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF ROLEX DIALS FOR MY PENS. THANKS GUYS, MIKE

Hi Guys, I want you guys for all the kind words.. They man al ot especially when you are on the way out. I am 62, and have lived a very fulfilled life (with tears in my eyes). I am blessed with to wonderful children. I have a gorgeous 23 year old daughter who modeled most of her younger years. He just the University of Wisconsin with a Masters in English. She is an incredible writer. I also have a 28 year old son who doing well in the design field. I was married for 18 years and then chose to go my own way for certain reasons in the marriage. I have always been a hands on dad, and probably will be until my last breath. Financially i have done fairly well and invested all my Commercial Real Estate which has been a blessing. I live off the income now, two 20 unit apartment buildings are paid. My kids will never have to worry as in this day and age, i am worried about all kids making any money, but I probably am wrong. I have always had a hobby of making very high end pens. I have honored with many reward for my color and design through the years. Starting just a few months ago to help supplement my income due to one experimental medication costs $978 per day. I have to pay 20% of that. So that figure is almost $6k per year besides my other living expenses. I opened a store just recently on Ebay and have decided to make pens again and sell them. I have always been in the top 2% of the industry for awards in design and color. Currently my pens are on Ebay already discounted 25%. I will over RWG Members (if you are willing by bypass Ebay and pay thru PayPAL, IF YOU BUY ONE PEN, I WILL RWG MEMBERS AN ADDITIONAL 10% IF YOU BUY 2 PENS, I WILL GIVE YOU 20% OFF PLUS FREE SHIPPING IN THE US IF YOU BUY 3 PENS, I WILL GIVE OU 25% OFF, THAT TAKES ME DOWN TO NOTHING, BUT THAT'S OK~ ) I WILL SHIP TO EUROPE, ON A PER BASIS QUOTE. I DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON EUROPEAN SHIPPING. I HOPE MANY OF YOU CAN SUPPORT, YOU WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! I ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL MY FRIEND HERE, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.. IT'S BEEN FUN...THIS FORUM WAS MY SECOND HOME YEARS.. I HAVE TO RALLY THAN ONE SPECIAL SPECIAL WHO I LEANED ON MANY TIMES WHILE I WAS AS AN ACTIVE MEMBER, AND THAT'S KEN BERG.... HE IS A VERY DEAR FRIEND TO ME... AND I HOPE HE AND OFFSHORE CAN GET ME THESE ROLES DIALS, FOR PENS I WILL BE MAKING. MAKING PENS TAKES MY MIND OF THE EVERLASTING PAIN... CHEERS TO YOU ALL...I LOVE YOU GUY WITH ALL MY HEART. (AND NOW I AM TEARING UP AGAIN BIG TIME) AND HERE IS MY STORY : The only other background is I have always a very special eye for color, I have making custom pen plants for over 15 years. It's actually a real art, and my works have been nominated and won many times in the small custom weekend pen makers. This trick is to be able to control the color and abstract of the color. Which after many years i have finally come up with consistent formula. I just finished up my colorful pen blanks. they end up 3/4" x 3/4" x 5" square, before they go on lathe, then the artist of a Pen Turners comes to live, Kind of like cutting diamonds... I have using other peoples mediums like feather, (which are NOT taken form live birds), love pansy flowers are very beautiful, plus i have 2 or 3 Artists that micro paint under a huge magnifier, and their is astounding. Truthfully, the quality of the guts inside are'better than Mont Blanc, Dupont, etc which you are just paying for the name. Surely they are nice, buy you are paying like you are paying for Rolex. My pens are completely hand made from top to bottom. The parts are the finest you can buy, My cheapest pen cost me $80. (truth!) Then depending on the medium, the price doubles, triples and quadruples. I know pen makers that are rich and make $40k pens at cost. Quality and design wide, my pens are in the top 2% of handmade pen Industry. I am trying to figure a way to get people from the forum to buy. i do 95% of my sales on the back side of Ebay due to their high costs. Right now I already have in place a 25% off sale, which the sale price is currently reflected in the Current Sell Price. I would offer any RWG Member an additional 10% for 1 pen, and 20% off the total of 2 pens (on the back side of Ebay) and 25% off the total of 3 pens. RULES FOR THE ABOVE SALE - THE BUYER WHO'S 1, 2 OF OR 3 PENS CAN NOT COMBINE WITH ANOTHER BUYER. I DON'T WANT 3 GUYS CHIPPING IN TOGETHER, AND ONE GUY PAYS. THIS IS NOT MY PURPOSE. MY PURPOST IS TO MAKE PENNIES OFF SOMEONE WHO CAN BUY 2 OR 3 BY THEMSELVES. Ken asked me for some information on my background with pens. Here is what I wrote the other day...
