How does this "guage"

[papaturner]

What do you get when you cross an executive with a tire guage?
I had an old tire guage laying in my tool box and thought what the heck it might work. No finish just a little cutting, drilling, and epoxying.
Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

That would be a cool gift for tire shop personnel. I like it! Funny how penmaking and turnng in general changes the way we look at things that are already round.

Hi Mate

I see you got pumped up when you saw this opportunity. really like it, I am sure the Green Eyed Cat and Dumpster Rat man will enjoy your pen as much as I do. Sort of lifts you out of the mundane when you can have so much fun making pens. There is no let down at all, as a measure of innovation it rates highly with me.

Well done and seen.

Regards Peter.

Well, Perry, your pen sucks, AIR that is!!

Very clever and it LOOKS good, too.

So, when you check the tire pressure, does the ink cartridge shoot out? :biggrin:

LOL .. you'll put an eye out!

Looks good! Makes for some interesting marketing ideas, no?

Reminds me of waiting for my flu shot, the elderly gentleman next to me had a tire gauge in his pocket. Now I knew he probably didn't use it that much because I found out his sister had delivered him to the Phamacist in a Lincoln Continental. He had trouble speaking, I assumed due to a stroke ( walked with a cane ) but when I pointed to the tire gauge in his pocket his eyes lit up and he tried to say something to the effect that he would not be without it.
I don't know why I related this story, but here it is anyway.

Looks good Perry.

I bet if you gave it some thought you could come up with a design that still works as a tire guage. :rotfl:

 

[Fred]

Neat and well done. :biggrin:

I bet when the pressure fitting is "used" that is how you make the point extend for use. Retraction may require a different method.

I guess you could always write with the tire sitting on your shoulder. When
you're done, just stick a nail in the tire!

See? I can figure these things out..

 

[bitshird]

Neat pen Perry, very different.

 

[Jgrden]

I need to know how to do this.

 

[Rick P]

LOL very cool!

 

[BradG]

I like that!

Nicely done

nice pen. great idea. and it is amazing the way you look at things after a while. just been turning since Feb. now starting to see things around the house and say to myself: can i make a pen out of that. haven't tried anything weird yet but am sure that i will soon alter seeing those pics.

 

[TBCbushings]

I thought of that as well but never got past the thinking stage... Nice work!!!!
Mind if I try ???

I could not keep it in my pocket, I would constantly be grabing the wrong one either to check the tire pressure or to write with. LOL Nice looking pen, great idea.
