Ya man!!!!
Excellent work buddy.
Thanks Lupe!!
Whatever the flaws are they are not apparent in the pictures. Your attention to detail makes the pen an attention getter.
Thanks Pete!! They cant be seen in the pics but they are there.
Cool, I think I've seen some of that before. Did you get it from a pipe makiing supplier?
Yep...PipemakersEmporium
Looks like some grasshoppers we have around here every year. Now if you had one with a yellow stripe, and one with an orange stripe it would be the whole grasshopper collection. Need a model to demo it?
LOL!! I havent seen any other colors of stripes yet, but i will keep my eye out:wink:
I have a friend who, the very first time ever on a golf course, shot the game of a lifetime .... well under par, close to the course record! He never played again! His reasoning was that he would never play better than he did that day.
Glad you don't think that way!:biggrin:
This one may even be better than the blue one!!!!
LOL!! Thanks Lenny!!! Im no quitter....even while im ahead:biggrin:
Ok, you lined up the line when closed, lined it up with the section clip is dead center on the line, so what the crap is the problem other than the final being a little long and that's something that is not a problem as it was intended to be. Inquiring minds want to know.
Well Roy.........there are 4 of them, actually 3 because one is caused by the other. First, the front section got drilled just a little bit off, so the feed isnt perfectly centered on the line, but you cant really tell unless you look hard. Because of this, when the front section is screwed in, with the line centered on the top of the pen, like you see in the pics, when you look at the other side, the line doesnt line up perfectly, Its not bad, but it is noticeable. Third the clip is just a bit off center of the line. It was very hard just to make sure that is was as centered as it is. Again, its not bad, but if you really look with it in your hands, you can see it. Fourth, i must have chamfered the inside of the cap a little to much, and when turning to diameter, i noticed it, but didnt stop:frown: and cut down in the chamfer at the base of the cap. It caused the first thread to be removed and left the edge really sharp, and the cap screws in tight. The last one might be able to be fixed by remounting it in the colet and chamfering the edge some more, but it might just keep tearing away at the edge. Who knows. The others cant be fixed. My re-animator is broke:frown:

Agreed! That's one sweet pen Justin. I know we are our own worst critics, but that one really shows your skills lining up all the pieces. :worship::worship::worship:
Thanks!!!
Another beauty Justin! Nice job on getting that stripe centered.
