My first pen ever

[sorcerertd]

I never showed you my first pen, which was kitless even. I call it Frankenpen. It has a nice steampunk look.

Clasially aged oak with a closed end. Copper eectrical wire for the clip. Cap from hand hammered, pre-verdigreed, old copper pipe, soldered with a little more electric wire as a sort of retaining spring to hold it in place. Non-posting.

Hahahahahahaaaa... it's alive! Not really. It actually writes worse than it looks. Hope you got a chuckle from it, though.

That is really cool, Todd! I see many things that show promise.

Love it!

There's a creative spirit at work in this project. Mary Shelly could have taken great inspiration from it!

Rustic.

The whole pen is about 4 inches long. I had to cut off the top of a cheap Bic knockoff to put in it. It's rough for sure.

Thanks Mark. You can't have it for the collection, though.
I can definitely improve on some of the experiments here for future reference.
