Just toying around with a $4 Atlas kit

I know a couple of machinists who would love that in the pocket.

The pen body is one solid shaft with the kit deep inside, you turn the crown on top to extend the tip.

Very cool!

Fantastic work!

That's some nice work, what grade is it 304? it sure polished up nice.

Neat!! Did you put an extension on the refill? Or, is that the natural length for it?

Bitshird, I spun it from magnetic 430 stainless, I like the 430 because it contains 17 percent chrome so when you polish it looks like chrome. Here are a few others I spun from 430 (solid stainless in the shape of bullets) The larger one is almost 6" tall.>>>>>>>>>>>>>GEBC

Hilltopper, I stretched the pen out, The crown goes down about 1.5" to the twist mech burried in the body of the pen, the entire body is a single shaft. To extend the tip you turn the crown at the top.>>>>>>>>>>GEBC

Goulet and Ligget, Thanks for the kind words, I checked out both of your web sites and the workmanship is fantastic. >>>>>>>>>>>GEBC

All the stainless pens you have shown are first rate. Well done. I may have to give this metal a try also. Thanks for showing.
