I built this to resemble a 18th century swivel cannon, they would mount these on the deck rails of ships. I made my own transmission for this one, everything is hand built except for the Parker refill insert. You just push and turn the rear of the cannon and the "Cannon ball" nib emerges. I hope you like it.>>>JK

Steven, Your positive opinion really means allot to me, thanks for the vote of confidence and the kind words. Your stellar workmanship and innovative ideas inspire us all to step up to the plate. :smile:
 
Very cool pen Jim. That pen would have easily put you in the PMG, but not now, because you showed it to us. Just send a cool pen to them but don't show us first! Great concept and execution, btw.


Jeff, I know I cant send this one to the PMG so I'm working on another creation, already got over 16 hours in the new one and it will probably take at least 8 more to complete it. I guarantee they have never seen anything like it. I will post it after they review it.

I was about to ask how much time you invest in these pens. They are amazing.
 
That may be the coolest pen I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing that. Great idea, and amazing follow through.
