Well it's been a wile since I posted a picture. This my latest creation. I can't claim the idea I saw a picture somewhere of a letter opener. I don't remember who it was or can I find it again to give them credit.

Any way it took a few weeks and several failures. It is not easy but it sure was worth it. The kit is a wall street II click (the only thing I had) a sierra vista would probably be better.

It's basically what you see. A printed circuit board sanded down to paper thin, watch your fingers[B)], wrap it around the tube (very tricky) cast it like a snake skin, turn & polish. Simple as that.

Comments, criticism, opinions, suggestions all welcome.
Thanks
Bruce

VERY slick, pun intended. Who woulda thought. Really nice. Just looked at your home page. Very nice collection you've got there. What's next? Toenail clippins????:D It's amazing what some people can do.
 
Wow, Bruce! That is so amazing! I thought it was a real circuit board. My mind started racing trying to figure out how you melted it into a perfect tube! heh

VERY cool idea! I know a lot of geeks who'd buy that right up! :D
 
I work I.T. at a University and have done it
in one form or fashion since windows 3.1 workgroups.

I love this pen and must try to make one for myself.
If you don't mind me trying to duplicate to a degree
the style using the circuit board.


But anyways great job, really great! way to go. Bruce

Not a problem that's why I posted it. I like to show off something good and share it with friends. It's just like doing a petrified snake skin.

Thanks every one for the nice comments. I am already working on the next ones it's a very long and difficult process.

Thanks Again
Bruce
