Red Peper!

[Mather323]

I wanted to create a pen that no one has ever done before. After being on this sight, I am not sure that this will ever be possible, this is my attempt. This pen was cast out of red peppers and CA glue. Turning this pen was simular to being pepper sprayed while having a asthma attack, and the effect was only enhanced when a pepper made it straight into me eye.

DUDE THAT IS FREAKING SWEET!

 

[GaryMGg]

That's cool. Or is it hot?!?! Either way, it's nice!

 

[rdunn12]

Wow that is cooool.I like it.If it was'nt for the ca you could market it as an edible pen.It might be a little spicy though.

 

[gketell]

That is one of the best looking pens I have seen. Great job.

What your story tells me is that you don't have a good enough respirator.

Wow, Mike, that is really a very nice pen. What a great idea.

 

[louisbry]

Very hot pen. I haven't seen one like it before.

 

[toolcrazy]

Very, very nice.

 

[R2]

A littke ripper!![^] Can you tell us exactly how you made the blank?? Please??

 

[airrat]

Nice concept, looks great.

Going to take a guess that you used the dried peppers.

 

[jwoodwright]

Now that's thinking like Eagle. He was always saying with enough CA he could make anything into a pen blank.

That is one hot pen and well made.

Hope your eye is better.

[Johnathan]

Nice work, now I want a peppermill made out of that!

 

[rhahnfl]

Thinking out of the box!!! Way to go. [8D]

 

[VisExp]

That's a pen any chile head would love!

 

[bitshird]

I used to live in New Mexico, that pen would bring a nice price in some of the shops there.
It is one of the most unusual pen I've seem it's very well done.

 

[CaptG]

Just Awesome, I think you have accomplished your goal. Way to go.

 

[C. Scott]

Great pen and idea! Next time you may want to wear eye protection to stop those stray pieces of pepper getting in your eye.

 

[barkisini]

Mucho caliente!!!

 

[kent4Him]

Definately time to wear your face shield.

 

[Mather323]

I make the pen by placing 1/8 inch of peppers in the bottom of a clear pill bottle, then I poured in 1/4 filling CA and mixed, pressing it down as well I a could. Then I repeted the process until I filled up the container. I let it set for 1 hour and then I cut and drill out the blank. I just completed a new one today (top secret) until I get to post it here but it looks like granet.

 

[rhahnfl]

So the pen is just about all CA other than the peppers? WOW!!!

 

[Dalecamino]

Mike , that is the coolest , most beautimous pen I've seen in awhile ! How does the CA not stick to the pill bottle ? Or do you have to break up the bottle to get the blank out ? I don't completely understand ( but that's me ). Love the work you did . Good job !

 

[Mather323]

After the glue is set, cooked off I cut the pill bottle to match the brass tubes. Then I used the end mill to trim the brass and turn the pill bottle and once I am thru the plastic I am now turning the blank. []

I would imagine that if it gets "chewed" on, then the one doing the chewing will be in for quite a surprise if and when they reach the peppers.

Very nice blank and the finished pen is definitely unique. Great job!
