heck---I would take that back to work and try and sell it to the owner/boss----you might get a nice order out of the deal.
I think it is very cool.

The owner is in Japan.
I am thinking about making a few for our Senior Leadership Team here in Alabama. :biggrin: Maybe for Christmas, if they are good. :rotfl:
I need to learn to cast these. There are gas bubbles trapped in the CA.

I was thinking more in the line of making money------email Japan with a pic.
This is one of the down sides to being poor.

If I can get molds and learn to cast, I may offer a few of these here. Maybe in 10" tubes, so you can cut to the length you like. :biggrin:

Now that has alot of potential. Talk to Gary, CaptG. You two might be able to go into partners. Is that a sleeve or do you have to cut it and show a seam??? Nice work by the way. Thanks for showing.

It's a flat web. The width of the web is the circumferance of the 7mm tube. There is a visible seam where the sides meet.

Nice idea; but, honestly, the flag theme is not fully developed. There are no red and white stripes. You might want to think about carrying the theme to the barrel of the pen. A flag isn't really a flag without stripes. Take a look at the kit done by Ken Nelsen or the one sold by PSI.

Randy, it looks like the stripes are around the bottom side of the cap.
Very nice work! That makes a striking pen. Please go all commercial on us - those would be good sellers.

The way the web is printed, the stripes carry to the other side of the pen. I took the pic to show the blue field.
I agree about taking the theme to the whole pen. Since I was building this up with CA, I only did a small tube, to find if the web would hold to the tube.
How much of the stars and stripes shows on the pen depends on the section of the web used. The piece with the pen is a sample of the web I used.

This is actually nylon webbing (similar to tie down straps). This one is made for a customer that makes child car sets and other juvenile safety devices. It is about a 1/16" thick and 1" wide.
We sell to manufacturers in 1000 yard increments.
I am going to see if I can buy 25 yd rolls and at what price.

If you can buy iot in shorter lengths, I would like to try a yard or so.

If I can buy a single roll, I will be glad to cut a few pieces.
I also need to find out who owns the pattern. If it is our customer, there will be no way I can get any thing more than this sample.
