Playing with Lego blocks

[hewunch]

So the other day, I was playing with my boys and their lego blocks. And I thought... hmmm, I think I can make a pen out of these. So here is the first one. I need some other blocks for the others I have rolling around in my mind. Yes I picked the ugliest blocks, to play with on purpose. Not knowing how it would respond. As it is, the cap does not want to stay closed. So I have to use screw caps from now on.

Just for the particulars. The refill is a parker, the nib is a slim that has been drilled out to use the parker refill. And yes you can change the refill.

Hans, that is very creative. I really like it.

Very Cool!:rotfl: Did you have to wait until your boys were in bed before you stole their blocks? Are they hiding the rest of their toys?

I bought a pack of my own. In fact, just about 2 hours ago, you could have heard the following in my house. "Son, those are Daddy's legos".

Hans, must admit of all the pens that I have viewed on this site.............this is one of them!!

 

[Dalecamino]

So would this be a segmented pen or a puzzle pen????

 

[hewunch]

Nothing really puzzling about it, so I would go with segments

This is unique. I was thinking a while back about casting some leggos out of resin in multi colors, so they were solid, and then turn them down so you could see the connections but it sounded like way too much work and I put it on a side burner for a while.

School kids would love it, especially if they can take it apart.

Very Nice!

It's pretty cool, ugly but cool. I could sell that! Good thinking Hans.

 

[fernhills]

I can just here the kids running out of the room. !!mommy, Mommy!! "He took my Legos"" Only kidding, nice idea, really cool. Carl

v.2 is in the works, somewhat prettier. Then it will be time to use the black and gray blocks then the red white and blue ones.

My son saw this, now he want to try it for himself.

Thanks for sharing.
