More Pentel Fun

[DurocShark]

Actually, I'm playing with designs and castings. I like the translucence of the pink one. I have a purple one similar (without the glitter) on the lathe. The clip notch in the blue one was a dismal failure.

There is too much lip at the top of the notch, so the clip head is pressed out. Works fine, looks like poop.

I'm seriously having way too much fun with this stuff. LOL!

Wow, looks neat and a lot of fun!

I wonder if you could find some small black O-rings that might take up some of the space in the neck and set the clip right again? Might even cut it a bit deeper then put on the O-rings and then the clip...

That was just an experiment. My son loved it so he adopted it. The pink one doesn't have that:

They look pretty good Don. I'm sure you can make a black ring, split it in half and glue it in.

Don,
Your casts are inspiring. I finally got off the fence and have the Alumilite white on its way to the man cave now. Keep up the good work.

Those two pencils are done with PR, not Alumilite. Just to be clear.

Hah! A pun!

Crystal. Still, it's the thought that counts.

Don,
Just clicked on your website. Your "Smoke and Blood" is way cool as well.

Thanks! That one is Alumilite white.
