Well I can. Technically school is not a job, but you get the point. Last semester i brought my pens to show my teacher. He then was asking me all these questions about making pens. He bought a jet var speed mini lathe. I also made him a list of everything to get. So i have his class again, and i can just make pens for the whole period(1.5 hrs). So I have only made a couple so in his class. But here is some of the ones I have done lately. (class and at home). First is a blue acrylic from woodnwhimsies. I thought it was lame when i bought it a while ago, but i think it turned out rather cool.It is a atrax fountain. Second is a purple and blue blank from woodcraft. It was reverse painted blue, the blue paint was dark so it turned the blank more a darker blue than it originally was. But it still turned out good. It is on a long click chrome kit. 3rd i thought was appropriate for valentines day. It is a pink blank reverse painted white. I didnt have any pink testors paint. So this one turned out very light pink. It has a dot of red in it at the bottom, that was then mixed around with some white paint. This made a pinker part at the bottom. and i thionk it added some character to the blank. The 4th is a long click. I casted this using white, blue and orange. It is pretty swirly but not as good as i would like to have it. But it still turned out fine. The 5th is a turquoise veined marble acrylic blank. On a atrax Chrome rollerball kit. I made this in class yesterday and took my time, mainly because i had alot of time to kill. I think it turned out really good. These blanks dont show very many scratches, which i like. One reason i am not the fastest to go buy black blanks. Hope you like em. =]
