My First Pen

My first pen!

 

[Rodnall]

I'm puzzled as to why you would try that as a first pen. But very nice first pen

Niceley done.
I'm puzzled to know if there's a competition on for "the most advanced first ever pen". Segmented, Laser cuts... what's next, kitless?

Nicely done. Tough first pen but you sure conquered it.

Rodnall, you asked why I would choose this as my first pen. I have turned metal on my metal lathe for a few years, and feel I am mechanically inclined enough. The truth is I wanted one of those puzzle pens!

The pieces are hard to put together, but I taught myself a trick. When I was having trouble putting the pieces together I took the tube out and after I got the pieces in I put the tube back in. I had no broken pieces. I learned years ago as a mechanic to never force anything or it is not made to go together.

My puzzle pen looks much better in person. The photo does not show just how pretty it is.

Wonderful first pen. I hope to do one of those as I sometimes build puzzles.
This is a site full of great people.

I think next time you should try to really push yourself to try something difficult

For real, I love those blanks and you did a really good job.
