A Poor Man's rollerball

[johncrane]

With all the gloom and dome going on :frown: l thought l'd make a kit less pen with a low budget, and this is want l came up with, for the cap and the holding grip l used left over bits of resin for the cap end l used the little plastic cap that comes with our rollerball refill's, the cap also posts, the blanks l drilled with a 1/4 inch drill bit. The blank came from Jeff in a IAP mug.l cant remember the name of the wood l know it was very hard, also no brass tubes was used just drilled and turned so thats it a darn cheap pen. :biggrin:

Cool, just don't bare down too hard. Those nibs bend easily.

This pen is a bit smaller than a pencil but you can turn it to what ever size you want l have cut a rollerball refill in half to make a purse or pocket pen, the little cap is the 'secrete' here! and there are no limits only time.
