Here's the pen I cast/turned for Earl (BayouPenturner) for the December PITH.
I think by now, everyone is familiar with the theme; construction...?
This pen is all tied into the time I spent as a teenager working construction. One summer found me at the bottom of some very deep trenches riveting and attaching pipe with all kinds of tools, riveting equipment, welding and wire tie-in material. The design reflects a lot of that memory. It was cast with Alumilite using "tube-in" techniques and a lot of embossing on aluminum. The larger rivets are the real deal. The smaller ones are simulated. The kit is a "Zen" magnetic cap from CSUSA. It was a fun project and improved upon my embossing skills!
