Mick, From the photo, it looks like you did just a nice of a job as any I have seen so far. I can only imagine the time involved!My version of the latest craze.
Comments and critique welcome.
That's a beautiful pen! Great job in casting! I think it's a great idea to fit little watch parts in a pen. I don't know who invented it, however, here's a steampunk pen made back in 2008 and put on the Steampunk Home web site.

Andy, I made my own screwdrivers. I took the smallest jewellers screwdrivers I had and ground them down to size. I only took a few watches apart. I was lucky enough that I have a friend who had bought a lot of parts anticipating making Steampunk jewelry and then decided against it! However I do have a bunch of vintage watches to take apart so I figure my homemade driver will get a workout!Very nice. I've got some old watches I want to take apart and try this too but the miniature screw driver set I have apparently isn't small enough. What did you use to disassemble yours with?

Great steampunk design! Well done!!! Have to agree with the other comments, great spacing, casting, and finish. Any significance to the time?
