You know, the guy that puts his pen in his pants pocket, front or back doesnt matter, its going to be bad no matter which pocket he puts it in. Im not sure why I.... er I mean he does it. The pen has a clip, its a nice clip and works like it should. But No.... He has to put it in his back pocket next to his wallet and then ..... SNAP!!!! ...??? WHAT??? Ohhh crap not again.
Seriously You couldnt use the clip on the pen to hold it on.
Fortunately its a practice piece I made from parts that I wanted to see how they looked on a pen and not one of my really good ones. It is one of my desk/shop pens but still....
It was a really clean break and the burl pattern helps hide the crack. The next picture shows it put back together without glue. You can still see the crack.
I used some medium glue and put it back together.
I can tell where it is and if I show someone they could probably find it again but I can find it easier by feeling for the glue line. Its rougher than the rest of the finish.
I actually made the pen body in the late 90s. Its built around a slimline tranny. The lower nose cone has a 7/32 brass tube from K&S that has a 3/16 inside diameter. its only about .400 inches long. THe upper parts use a reg. 7mm tube. The one the tranny is pressed into is cut about in half. Its has a poly wipe on finish on it. I had not even heard of CA Finishes when I made the pen body. I ran across it a couple of months ago in a box of stuff and put some misc. hardware on it to complete it.
The sad part is I probably still, whoops, I mean he hasnt learned his lesson and its bound to happen again.
Im not to sure what Im going to do with that Guy.:biggrin:
