Pair of Oughtsixs

[Gary Max]

These are my first casing pens. Let me start by thanking everyone who came up with ideals on how to help me. Long list I needed a lot of help.
Casings are 30/06---center band is pick material--deer antler---clip from woodturningz---finsh coat from Lou/TSW--heck the list just goes on and on even the gang over at the Wednesday night chat room helped.

Gary,
Great looking pens! I have tried to make some pens out of casings and had to walk away due to there absolutely horrible look.
Great job!!

Gary,
Would it be possible for you to write a step by step instructional article for the rest of us. As a police officer I can tell you many of my brethern have expressed an interest in this type of pen but I have been hesitent to try it without some detailed instructions. Thanks.

 

[Gary Max]

Thanks for all the kind words folks.
Greg I spent the day making two pens---I made enough scrap to sell the brass.
I would not be right person to get insturctions from.
There are a couple of members that have already responed to this tread that are really pro's at these pens and would do a lot better job than I could.
I had several of them help me---Thanks again guys.

Where did the quote come from in your signature line?
You might just TRY and see what you come up with.

Eagle,
We all are not as talented as you and some of us mortal pen makers need some instructions to help us along. The line is try not but do and relates to makeing an effort to suceed. Thanks again for your helpful comments. Maybe you can become one of the elders of your group.

Great job on the pen

 

[laspringer]

nice job on the pens Gary, is that a slim line rifle clip. With that clip is there much bending of the clip to fit the larger top.

Thanks Alan
