That pen is too nice to let sit,open the surface of the cracks a bit with a dremmel and put some thin CA in it ,it won't make it perfect but will hide it a little and the cracking will not spread ant further. There is just something very attractive about that pen good job.
I'd still carry it as a pocket pen. I'm amazed at how many sales I make that started out
with a conversation about a failed pen.
Nice work

Sorry to see that. Do you know why it happened?
Those suckers are way too tight on the tubes!
Mic it to check the fit.
Overall look is great...and yeah, the tubes are a squeeze! Sucks cuz it was a really great effect.

Sorry to see that. Do you know why it happened?
Tube too tight. Maybe a slight angle as I was inserting the furniture. Maybe a droplet of CA on the inside of the tube.
It's often hard to see what goes wrong with these things but the first thing that came to mind based on some of me experiences was that the end of the barrel wasn't 100% right angle and flush with the tube and when the parts were pressed together, the pressing tool ...
Marketing opportunity: call it a lightning strike!Sheah, except for the bloody big crack.
just make sure you use enuff pressurehope this helps ~~~~~ken
