slow news day.

 

[Ron in Drums PA]

Interesting

I just did a google and found real shredded US Currency. That would make a neat pen.

 

[wdcav1952]

Reading between the lines, I would guess this pen is made of newspaper? [] Neat idea.

There's just no end to your inventivness. I go kill myself now. []

Excellent Eagle! Especially up around the clip area. The red there swirls nicely. Very creative.

VERY creative, Eagle.

Great looking and interesting pen. Wonder how it would look with a red CB to enchance the red that is already there. Might not do anything for the pen and might distract too, but just curious. Or maybe a dark gray or black CB.

Might be aq slow news day but it waqs an excellent day for pens

My guess would be with lots of CA[]

 

[swm6500]

My guess would be lots of CA also. Eagle loves CA.

Lee-
Often I don't put CB's on my pens.What I used here was a nylon spacer so I didn't glue both blanks together.This pen was don't in whimsy to see if an idea worked.It did and it will probably not stay in this configuration.It was basically a test.
To others.
Yes CA glue is used the same as in my denim pens.Sine there is a layer of Ca between each "layer" of paper and the paper is wound larger than the bushings,I am turning off a stabilized paper, not just an out coating.
It doesn't take as much glue as you maight think.
It doesn't take much imagination either.[]

Eaglesc great job on the pen---a good use of newspaper since they seldom bring any good news might as well tear them up and make pens out of them. Wonder what color comics would look like??????

 

[ctEaglesc]

"Wonder what color comics would look like??????"

I guess we won't know unless someone tries it and I wasn't wondering about comics at this time, maybe later.This was just a time killer while other projects are in "design phase".

 

[Skordog]

Nice pen Eagle. Did you use Thin, Medium, or Thick CA?
And did it smoke like crazy as you added the glue? []

 

[Bev Polmanteer]

Great job/idea Eagle! How about the funnies, I'l bet they would make a colorful one! Also the shredded currency![] Or even a $2 bill!

Nice pen Eagle. I'm going to have to borrow this idea.

 

[melogic]

Very nice pen Eagle! I love it when you have time to think and create. Great job.

 

[GregD]

Eagle,
What did you use for the center band? That's not plastic from a pop bottle is it?

Actually that pen was a time killer while while working on other things.
It will probably be dismanlted and /or remade.
The CB in that pen is a piece of the stuff they use for bread boards.(HDLW or something like that.)I use it when I am going to use CA for a finish so I don't "stick" the halves together.Normally I use wax paper but in this case I wanted a little more"protection"

 

[PenWorks]

Another great design Eagle and well executed. I wonder what goes threw your mind sometimes ???

 

[alamocdc]

There you go again. Very nice, Eagle! [8D] Anyone want to buy a lathe and accesories? []
