No Ink Required...

It does write, so I debated putting it in the SOYP forum. I settled for here since it isn't a traditional pen. It requires an Android or iPad or iPhone to write. :biggrin:

Sorry for the crappy pics. In a hurry, because I should have been working on the acrylic clouds for VBS.

The clip is the only one I have left, and it has brassing at the top. But this one isn't for sale, so meh. A woman at work likes them for her iPad but none of the ones she's tried had a clip that could hold onto her case. I think this one will survive.

The blank looks like one of your custom gold leaf blanks. Although it appears to have been subjected to some heat.

 

[DurocShark]

It is one of mine. Heat? THe first pic is a bit underexposed. That what you mean?

Very nice work Don. Did you make the clip or purchase it?

[RustySplinters]

How clever! Well done.

They come off of some corporate giveaways. I snag 'em whenever I can, but I haven't seen one in a while.

Don I may have some and if I do I will pm you for your address. My wife gets quite a collection at times from salesmen. Very nice work. Do you think that this would work on a Nook reader? My wife has issues sometimes on her Nook when searching for books.

 

[DurocShark]

It would probably work on a Nook, but I don't have one to test with to confirm. I have an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and of course, my Captivate that I can check.

That is a great looking stylus! Did you destroy a stylus from the store? Looks very fancy!

Sweet!

I ordered a bunch of them from China. Stripped the nib and collar off and turned a new shaft. Used a prototype of my two-tone resin for the body.

Thanks!

That is soooo cool.

Obviously there is a market for these things as evidenced here

These guys got 134 grand to produce these boring bic-esque things.

 

[DurocShark]

Those are FUGLY!

 

[Haynie]

yep and they will get 25 dollars a pop. Got to be a market for the higher end custom turned and shaped one of a kind product.

 

[DurocShark]

I wonder of those ugly ones are solid material... I could turn custom nibs as well. Hmm....

 

[RandyMarsh]

Very cool idea. Nice.

 

[DurocShark]

Thanks.

I was hoping to make a bunch more this weekend, but life got in the way. Sigh.
