You musta inserted the barrels and other fittings right where he laid! Great technique! Could you teach us that? I'll bet you snuck up from the back end too! [:D]

Can that pen draw a straight line? Does it do "French" curves well?

Thanks guys for the comments. Just found that filter on my editing software and thought I would have a little fun....or maybe I should check the alignment of head and tail sock, or straighten my mandrel, or ...

It feeds on wood shavings and antler shaving.[:D] I'm scared it may bite, so I keep it capped at all times.

Thanks for allowing me to have a little fun.

While Don's post was meant to be humrous (Which it is) There is also an excellent application for a photo like that. Imagine that pen in a Fountain pen version on a web site. It could be a main category photo to more Snakeskin pens, etc. With the cap off and the nib showing, you would have a very nice looking snake (With a tounge or fangs).

I am still happy with my invisible pen, though I can't remember where I've left it! [;)]

I'm betting Don just took the pen out in the Texas afternoon and snapped a few pics through the heat waves rising off the asphalt......

I used a special effects fiter in a photo editing software package. Most of the better ones have it. Just playing around.

Don,

Don't disappoint us with that kind of talk. I thought you took the picture while it was still so fresh that it was still moving! [:D]

I like Fangars idea of taking a picture of it with the cap removed and a forked tongue coming out of the nib!

Dang it Don. You really tick me off! After I saw that first photo I headed right down to my shop to try to replicate your design. I've been down there all day trying to figure out how to turn my blank with those exact twists. Then, I come back online to take another look and realize it was your photo editing program!

But Doc,
Just think how much practice you got. Glad I was the inspiration.[:D][:D] That was a dirty trick, wasn't it?
