This is pen #20 for me (had to count after reading the requirements for the BASH beginner contest).
Glued part of a $1 bill to the brass tube (found the idea on here). Made a huge impact on the overall look of the pen. Increased the hole size so I used a hand file to enlarge what I had drilled.
Had to douse the blank twice with thin CA as small flakes/cracks developed as I approached the final desired size. Ended up with excess CA inside the tube that has caused the twist mechanism to be quite tight. So I will have to take it apart and clean out the inside.
Comments always welcome.
Thanks,
Dave
