Nice and shiny!
Do you protect the metal with a top coat/anodizing...?

Thanks Chaps
No need Chris
aluminium doesn't tarnish very quickly at all.

Fantastic Machining Brad,
I cannot Detect any Joints on the Assembled and Closed Pen.
I wouldn't know where to Separate It.
Fantastic Profile, Reminded me of a Stack of Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets.
Terrific Proportions and Superb Finish.
When it Comes to "Unique" Pens,You have done it again Brad,
Congratulations.
Brian.

Your work makes me jealous! I don't like commenting when I am jealous!

I love the precision of machining along with your artistic design, and obviously your ability to "see" before you do something.
A fellow on a woodworking forum recently mentioned the ability to "see" in 3D in the minds eye and even rotate it in the minds eye. He couldn't but his dad could! There are several here that can think and "see" with that ability. You do and Skiprat does and several more. I see this more in "machinist" engineers than others.
Beautiful work!

Many thanks Hank. It doesn't always turn out quite the way I pictured it, but the key to it is just have a go. the worst which can happen is that you will successfully rule out something which doesn't work, and sometimes you will discover something else completely unexpected through having a play trying to accomplish something else.
Be relaxed, in quiet surroundings, and don't get hung up on the details... just get a rough idea of what you think would look pretty neat and get stuck in.
