Rock and Roll

[Penultimate]

Greetings
This was a fun one and a little challenge to drill. My son wore out his drum sticks from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So to memorialize the trip I had to make a pen or a pencil. Using a slim line pencil I turned down the center coupler part to make it a single piece tube. Drilling the long hole was a pain and it is off center a little. I finished with a few coats of CA.
It is a nice memory from a great vacation. Thanks for looking.
Mike

Very nice. I've done similar with a Zen kit. Drilling was indeed an issue where the blank is already "finished" before you start. Great job!

It was. I made it for a buddy from high school that's a great drummer and Rush fan. I knew if I screwed up I had one more to get it right. these were the last pair on the market I could find. Promark posted a pic on their Instagram page and I got 4000 hits in a couple hours with lots of request to buy one. Too much stress to make a bunch, maybe one day but there seems to be a market. Should be able to sell them by the pair.

How long has your son been playing drums?

Hi Dan
My son took lessons about five years ago. We bought him a drum kit two years ago and he plays percussion in the high school band. I'm not sure where he got the musical talent 'cause my wife and I can't play .

About all I can play is the radio. Very nice pen with great memories attached. Now he can "drum" with his pen at school more comfortably.
