Inexpensive Hexagon Pen

[Pompeyite]

The following picture is of a pen I made for a bit of fun, from an old hexagonal piece of hollow plastic rod,

which was the angle adjusting rod for a venetian blind. Sorry the picture does not do the pen much justice my photo skills are just developing.
The kit is a gold slim line from CSUK. Finish is my own mix of wax buffed on a "Paint Roller Buff". The finish is a high gloss but it does not show up well in the pic.

Very nifty Derek[] One mans junk is another mans pen blank[8D]
Be careful though, when you start doing things like that, you start looking at EVERYTHING and wondering if it could make a pen.[:I]

Nice pen. What are you going to do when The Wife goes to adjust the blinds?! []

Now Steven, just who taught me that then at our IAPUK meeting.[][}]
Txbatons, she will have to reach a little higher now won't she. That could be interesting if she is wearing a short skirt eh?[:0][:X][:I]

Derek that is great thinking, looks fantastic from what I can see, very unique![]

Wow, there's one of those hanging right beside me! Still full length of course (for now[])

Wife and I just dumped a dozen or so of those things in the "trash"... Reckon the neighbors will say anything about me rummaging in the trash?

Neat pen, neat idea!

Neat idea - I like the pen. Paint one yellow with a red tip on the clip end and it would look like a no. 2 pencil.
