Beer Caps

Here's my attempt at a beer cap pen.

All comments, suggestions or questions are welcome.

very cool. I like how they overlap.

I often have trouble in a Club or a Bar choosing what Beer I would like to order.
You have compounded my problem Mike, you have now given me a Smorgasbord of Beer Choices on my Pen as well.
I can see my using it by spinning the Pen, and choosing the Beer that stops nearest to a particular place.
Like an Adult version of "Spin the Bottle".
Joking aside, a Fantastic Blank Mike.
BTW. Are they overlapped? or are they cut and nested to fit?
Incidentally, the Pen is also Great.
Thanks for sharing, even if it was only the Caps from the Beers.
(sorry I can't stop myself).

Thanks guys. The best part was drinking all the different beers :biggrin:.
Yup , they are all overlapped.That was the hard part was getting them to lay flat enough.

Very nice pen! I did one like that a while age but don't have it anymore....

That is very cool. I'm assuming you 'feathered' the edges of the caps where they overlap?

Very nice work Mike! the overlap is a neat design.

They are cast with poly resin in a resin saver mold.
Didn't have to feather the edges. After I cut the crimping off I scrape and sand the inner seal off. I then pick a transfer punch a few sizes small than the tube I'm using and wrap the caps around the punch and roll them on a piece of wood to shape them so they fit the tube tightly. A drop of CA under the caps will help keep them in place.
Hope this helps,
Mike
