This is the first pen i've made for myself in quite sometime. It's also about the 4th or 5th pen i've made in the last 2 years. It was fun getting out in the garage and making a pen. Now granted, this pen took me 6 days to make! 1 day to drill, 4 days for the epoxy to dry, and 1 day to turn :) And i'm really digging this kit! GT Knurl from Exotics and some crazy El Mostro Blank from Exotic's.

The pic is the best I could do with my camera phone. All comments accepted and appreciated!!

Hi Buddy.

I also like the Knurl. May not be a fancy, high end artsy pen, but for me and my shop... I like it just fine.

Nice job on your carry pen!

Nice pen! I'm curious, why did it take four days for the epoxy to set?

Well, I'm never in a hurry to turn anything. I use 30 minute epoxy, so It probably only took an hour. But I let it sit on the bench for 4 days to make sure it was cured :biggrin:.
