You're a funny guy. Didja know this stuff has to be turned in ice??? The hotter the stuff gets, the harder it gets. Tool a week and ruined several chisels. I'd give the damn thing to you but I have a $1,250.00 price tag on it to make back the materials and over forty hours labor. I am not making fun of you, I am making fun of myself for getting into something that was way over my head. I did not have the correct tools or the knowledge to take this on.That's pretty awesome. That material REALLY pops on that kit. It definitely inspires the I MUST OWN THAT response from me!
Thank you Dan, that is the nicest thing anyone, including myself, that has been said about the pen. Make me a deal.Nice...there were people asking what a $1000 pen looks like. Now we know:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Sorry about the tough time you had with making this, but it does look really cool!
Yes, took a propane torch to it before assembling. There is a titanium letter opener kit that turns the same way.Is that literally heat anodized Ti?
Looks fantastic whatever it is!
No, no, no:mad-tongue:Nice job John! Looks pretty cool to me! Now, go make some more

I wound up doing two things. A bucket full of ice to dip the chisel into after every swipe.Great looking pen! Could you elaborate on the process of "turned in ice"?

Sorry you ran into so many problems with it. Ouch. I was wondering how you managed to turn it. If you can GET the right tools for it at some point and can make it a more painless process, you stand to make some serious pens. I'm imagining one of your closed end cigars with the orange and black Harley logo in lieu of cigar band done out of that stuff. It would make grown men weep and women offer their first born to you. PEASANTS WOULD PROSTRATE THEMSELVES IN THE STREETS!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
