As you can see v2.0 did not survive the drilling [V]

However v3.0 survived both the drilling and the turning :D

Sierra Click dressed in cocobolo with aluminum. The alignment issues I experienced with the first one have been solved. Just needed to match the blade kerf and the thickness of the aluminum.

As always, your comments and critiques are appreciated.

I'm guessing your either retired or not married, cuz I dont know where a guy would find the time to do that. That is indeed impressive. I can turn a nice pen but this is something all together different. Wow.

Keith,

That is an amazing pen. I can certainly appreciate the amount of work that went into that segmenting, as my shop is littered with very small pieces of pens that never saw the light of day.

Great job.

that is a fantastic design & execution!
one of those pens that make me want to head down in the basement and work even though I should be getting to bed!

Nice work Keith! Awesome looking pen. You must have been on pins and needles drilling v3.0 after v2.0 came apart.

Your hard work paid off with the awesome pen.

Thanks for sharing it with us!

Shoot! You think this is good stuff....I was lucky to get one of these master creations from the MASTER.....in the last pen swap...
(But I would like to be able to collect a few more!)

I know I got the better end of the deal.....

Keith...You the MAN!!!! AGAIN!!

Thank you all for your kind words.

With regards to the comparisons to Eagles work, I can only aspire to the levels he has reached! His segmented blanks have been both inspirational and motivational. I certainly don't regard myself at anywhere near his level, I got lucky with one design and execution. To quote a friend "Now the hard part is going to be topping that" ;)

Amazing work, I have been considering using some aluminum segments, but never even dreamed of anything this complicated.

WOW!!! I think it may take a little more than matchng saw kerf to material thickness to make a pen like that. Your joints and alignment are spectacular. I'll bet I am not the only one who is wishing that their skill would allow them to copy your design.
