Profession Pen #1: The Plumber

[Spike]

I'm going to call these type of pens profession pens.
This one is the plumber.( Im working on others)
Made from common plumbing parts.
Comments welcome.

Now that is different, Spike. Cool idea!

 

[PenWorks]

Good one Spike, I'm sure they will go for that.
How does it hold water ? Did you pressure test for leaks []

You must have been reading Ed's tutorial on turning tiny beads- those are some tiny, tiny beads! [] But really, what kind of plumbing parts are those? What size did they start out at and how much turning down did you have to do?

Those are treads.(they kinda do look like beads.)ALL PARTS ARE STOCK.(No turning required.) The body is 2 brass pipe fittings. The CB is a brass sink supply line seat and 2 rubber O-rings.
The pen parts are a regular kit.

You need to make a holder to allow it to be stowed in an actual plumber's fanny crack. Then it would sell for sure.

Neat idea, Spike, I like it! Fanger's idea smells funny, though,[}]

 

[Paul in OKC]

YOu could use another plumbing piece to make a pen stand, a short coupling with the same id thread,and screw it to a flanged base[8D]

 

[Rifleman1776]

Different. My first thought was that those threads would tear up a shirt pocket very quickly.

 

[Tangboy5000]

I like where this is going. What else do you have in the works?

 

[wayneis]

Thats a pretty cool idea but please don't show us the pen for the profession of the septic tank pumpers. LOL [] I guess that you could take a bunch of reports and glue them together with lots of CA and make a pen for the executive. Or for the Doctor glue up exrays? I'd better quit now.

My others in the making are Electrician, Mechanic, and office personal. Im almost finished with the Electrician.
I am working on making pen holders for each one. Also from common parts.

 

[RussFairfield]

I am still waiting for a pen made from a spark plug[]

 

[Skye]

It cant be a plumber, there's no crack. []

...I guess the special blanks for the septic tank pumpers cannot be stabilized with the normal methods (CA, Poly or sending it out to River Ridge)....
