The Vertex Supreme Pen

[toddlf]

This is my first time posting on IAP after lurking for about five years.

I bought an aluminum honeycomb and Alumilte pen blank last week at SWAT. I cut some maple into small strip to use as accent pieces on the ends of the body and cap. I sort of followed the concept I saw in a video by Lynn Lacey.

I also made a video of me making the pen, You can find that video here:https://youtu.be/Zbq0ccFXo04

I enjoyed watching your video and your commentary - good job and nice pen. Did you use a Go Pro? I bought one 45 days a go and still haven't used it. I'm Tanner Tucker on YouTube (my beloved golden retrievers).

Tony,

Thank you. I used a Cannon 70D with a Shure Lenshooper VP83 external microphone for the first part of the video. At one point I had repositioned the camera and taken a short break. When I returned I forget to turn the microphone back on. A little while later, the battery on 70D died and my backup was also dead. So, at that point I started recording video using my iPhone 8.

Well, I think you did a very good job.
