Oh my! So many adjectives, so little space to write them! Yet they all seem pale in comparison. So I'll just say, if you aren't happy with it, feel free to send it to me. I'll find it a good home... in my pocket! :wink:

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging comments!

Nicely done Rich. How many hours do you have in making this pen?

Almost impossible to say as there's a ton of NRE in it - processes developed, improved, failed - scrapped parts for one reason or another - redesign, etc. The next one will have a bit more redesign and then it turns into about a day worth of work for a pen that includes all the engraving and stuff.

Mmmmm......not bad........keep practicing and you're sure to get there eventually. :biggrin::tongue:

Come on over and give me some lessons! Everyone has something new and different to share. :biggrin:

Cheers, folks,

LOL Rich, yours and a few others workshops are ones I'd consider selling either my kids or even some of my less used body parts to visit!!
Not sure what I could show you though!!!:biggrin:
