Jim Harrington

I retired 14 years ago following a career of inventing and designing automation equipment for industry. Retired, I turned to woodturning to feed my creative nature. As I turned I would think of different ways to solve problems. The Grabber Mandrel was one of my earliest products and the result of wanting to turn a desk set for my wife. I was lucky enough to have developed a working relationship with Penn State Industries.

Mark Dreyer

Mark been making pens for the past 20 years, starting back when the exotic woods were Kingwood and a very rare piece of cocobolo put on a gold slimline. The finish was wax sticks that you would press against the wood as hard as you could and then buff out with a cotton towel.

Mark has been demoing nationally, regionally, and locally in the Chicagoland area. He recently demoed at the AAW National symposium in Atlanta (2016) and Portland (2018).
