Another accetate pen. This one was a tad tricky to do as the material wanted to move while turning ig,. Hopefully it will last for a while as, I am not sure of the inherent strength of the material.

I also learned a lesson while making this pen.
I thought I might try using a 6.9 mm drill to "tighten up" any slop in rotating end of the pen, but I discovered it made it too dificult to extend and retract the cartridge.

ALso, how do you folks keep fingerprints and hand smudges from appearing in your pics? Is there a secret besides white cotton gloves?

Really nice Jerry. Great crushed velvet look.

I got to try this I just need to find a 7mm bit thats about 6 inches in length. Where did you find one of these bits? I got a longer 1/4 inch but that may be too small.
