Bling Slim, or Oh Nuts

[skiprat]

Hi all, My latest from the brass pipe fitting box. I also put a copper ring in both ali bits. One of the ali bits was originally copper with an ali ring, but I wrecked it I reduced the size of the nuts using a router and the index ring.

Very cool Skiprat

That's very slick. Your shop must look more like a plumber's shop than a woodworking shop with all the brass fittings you seem to have.[]

OMG, so inventive and beautiful!!! I love the fact that you use the nuts instead of plastic fittings that come with most kits, yours will probably never wear out[] Love it!!!

Great job, good looking pen.

 

[chigdon]

I think it is great! I wish you would do a tutorial on that. Very cool.

 

[NavyDiver]

That's really cool! I agree, you need to do a tutorial!

 

[JimGo]

That's sweet!

I like the concept and it does look great, but there is something about the sudden and substantial change in diameter that doesn't agree with me. Of course, myabe it is just the photo playing tricks on my eyes. It does look really good though.

Thats fantastic, I like the blue and the silver combo.[]

Thanks for complimentary comments, []but I think you guys are a bit too kind. This is not one of my favourites and will probably just go in my collection case with the rest of my experiments.

Chris and Eric, I really don't think that a pen made from odds and sods is worthy of a tutorial, but I normally do take pics during the process. So if you really want, just send me an e-mail and I'll show you how simple they are. There are pics in my album that show how I use a router on my lathe.

Mikey, I agree with you 100% about the size issue. But like you mentioned, it was the concept that I'm playing with. I was attempting a load of different methods for me to try out.

Cheers.

I like what you're doing. It's interesting, fun, and has tons of potential.
Thanks for sharing,

"That" is "cool"! My youngest son is in school for auto repair. He would get a real kick out of that.

Very nice, you do make some very unique pens.

Talk about thinking outside the box, i think you have put the box into orbit. I really like the pen, its just so different, keep up the great work Steve.[]
