Another Stainless One

[greeneyedblackcat]

The Ultimate "last forever finish"

I make pens from everything on the planet (bushes,sticks,stones,driftwood,plastics,corn cobs,pinecones,brass,bronze,aluminum, etc etc etc) but stainless is my favorite. The ultimate "last forever finish" . I have been toying around with the Polaris/Atlas kits lately. They are a very versatile kit at a nice price. Hope you like as much as I do>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GEBC

Very nicely done. I like the touch with the rubber gromets. Where do you get the rubber washers from??? Thanks for showing.

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

The rubber grips are O rings , Harborfreight sells a whole kit of 300 or so for $5 bucks.

Very nice looking! How does it feel in the hand (i.e. is it heavy and/or unbalanced)?

 

[timberbits]

Great looking pen.

With metal skills like that, you might as well make the whole pen rather than just the barrel.

Thanks for sharing.

Feels great in the hand, the O rings provide a nice grip. Airport metal detectors would probably not like it

Very nice work. Have you considered updating your profile so we will know who we are talking to?

Same as the patriot from csusa l love that kit a lot don't care for it but once you use it you will change your mind it fits the hand beautiful, as for your pen it looks very good are the rings there just for looks, my self l think it adds a nice touch.:biggrin:

Looks real good. One of the very few forklift proof pens I'm sure.

VERY cool.....almost like a wine stopper pen! Although I don't think a pen is the first thing people think to stick in a wine bottle....

I would have to assume that you did that on a metal lathe. Great work though, I looks nice enough to not be handmade:tongue::biggrin:

WDCAV1952, I updated the profile, should be some interesting remarks after reading it

Thanks for all the kind words, Goulet, Yes a Metal lathe, I have a full metal shop in my back yard, my largest metal lathe has a swing of 16" / 6' bed and weighs 3500 lbs. Good thing I have a wife that understands that a man has got to have his toys.

I believe you. One of my uncles way back when I was a kid was a locksmith and was called on occasionally to get into a safe when the combination got lost or forgotten.

Now, if you are doing this at night with a mask, we may get to meet. (Check my profile.) :biggrin:

WDCAV1952, Nice profession, all my "Cracking" is above board for a large company.
