Rollerball Shock Absorber

[skiprat]

I saw in a recent thread that the fun Shock absorber pen only had a mini refill, so I decided to see if I could make one with a Rollerball refill.
This is the result. Stainless steel nib and finials, titanium 'piston rod' and carbon fibre body. The spring is just stainless steel welding rod.
I kinda like it and hope you guys do too..:biggrin:

Sweet pen...

I like it. Looks easier to hold than the mini one.

glad you didn't waste your time entering that in the freestyle pen competition.........I would hate to tell everyone that it beat my meager entry with that fine pen.

Great pen. I always enjoy seeing your works of art.

[MikeL]

Nice one Skip!

Thanks all. :biggrin:

Phil, don't sell yourself short. We've all see your stuff and I reckon one of the reasons there are so few entires is because everyone knows you've entered. :biggrin: But as I've said before, I don't 'do' contests anymore. :wink:
But I can't wait to see what you and the others have entered into the real pro's contest. Good luck.:biggrin:

Thanks for the compliment.

If I dont get a day off work I am not going to get anything entered in a contest.

So far I have worked 34 1/2 hours this weekend. I hope to be off tomorrow and have a bit of free time to tinker around.

I made several of these and they are hard to sell. This might make the difference.

I like it very much. It took you longer than I thought it would. I've been expecting this from you. :biggrin: Very nicely done Steve.

Like it, it's sleek and has a modern look. The carbon fiber body is perfect with the stainless spring. Awesome work!
