Latest Pentel conversion project

[pipecrafter]

I love the Pentel P200 series pencil mechanism, but I'm not a fan of either the shape or plastic body that it comes in - so I solved both problems by making a new body from aluminum:

It's way more comfortable, and I already have people clamoring to get in line for them. I'm going to need to make a trip to Office Max for more supplies. :biggrin:

Kurt,
That looks great. I had a lesson on a metal lathe last Saturday, and I am just itching to get one, especially now I see what terrific work you've done.

Wow that is sweet.

Wow. Nice job making it "your own".
