Yes, Mack .... you have been very helpful in telling me (us) everything I need to know, and thanks for offering to make the pen for me :biggrin: .... but the turning and finishing is something I have to do myself !!!
I sooooooo like the cool look of your circuit board pens. I think you are brilliant to come up with the idea of leaving out the center band !!
You know, when I started pen making 5 years ago I made a few cigars and they turned out really well. I liked them very much, but they took a lot of care in shaping because the bushings are all different sizes. Now, with the method you have told me about, the shaping becomes easier, and the appearance of the resulting pen is even better.
Thanks for your valued help, Mack. I mean that most sincerely.
