Motorcycle Pen

The lower barrel is a blank I made from a "Long live the pursuit" beer cap from a joint celebration of the 111th anniversary of Miller Brewing and Harley Davidson. Other than appreciating their products, I am not affiliated with either company in any way.

I got kit, bushings, and a few spare tubes from Exotic Blanks.

I really like this kit! Have made a few myself. Love the blank! I grew up less than an hour away from Milwaukee and got to tour the Miller Brewery a few times. My dad and I go to the Harley museum every year for father's day.

How did you get the bottlecap flattened? I've been looking for techniques on that.

I lived in south Milwaukee for 10 years, until my retirement and return to Arkansas last fall.

I cut off the crimp and remove the liner, flatten what is left in an arbor press, and form to the tube.
