[edman2]

[penmanship]

Holy Sh*t!!

that just blows me away!!

 

[Grizz]

I know this is a 'Pen' site so it doesn't matter. But I'm curious, was there any turning involved?

Yup, every single one of those bullets was turned on a lathe, all the tubing was also cut and squared on the lathe, not to mention the internals and mechanisms. I have many hours of lathe and mill work in this pen. Here is a picture of the guts, there's more to this pen than meets the eye, it is a teachers pen, black on the front and red on the back, the front and the rear are also reversible/intrechangable.

that isFEEKIN AWESOME

 

[tim self]

All I can say is "we are not worthy, we are not worthy!"

 

[Jim15]

Another awesome pen. Beautiful work.

 

[shull]

one word comes to mind...STUNNING

 

[RAdams]

After thinking about it, i have come to a simple conclusion..


There are "Penturners"


there are "Penmakers"

There is the "Pen makers Guild" where the best of the best gather...






Then there is you.

 

[arjudy]

Wow!!!!

 

[btboone]

Very cool. What type of welding is that?

 

[bkersten]

Looks like the space shuttle is next - or is that pushing the limit.

 

[rjwolfe3]

Holy Cow!

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

Very cool. What type of welding is that?

96% Tin-4% silver solder, gonna try the brass colored silver solder next, but the 96/4 is real strong and reliable.

NO LIMITS, just time constraints :cat:

 

[Grizz]

Okay, we've have got to come with an "Impossible Pen" for him to attempt.

Any ideas?

 

[markgum]

:befuddled: HOLY (^$$%*()_ that is one awesome piece of work. :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

 

[CSue]

Very nice! You really "took off" with that idea.

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

Thanks for all the kind comments, kinda makes me want to go out to the shop and build another crazy pen. :cat::airplane::airplane::airplane:

 

[artme]

A true flight of fantasy!! Fabulous work.

 

[HSTurning]

ok
how about a desk set.
Space Shuttle Canadarm Robotic Arm would be 2 pens.
If you lift up the tail fin the ink well or ink bottle is hidden.

or

Standing on the launch pad and the liquid booster and 2 solid boosters as a 3 peice set.

just ideas:biggrin:

[VisExp]

Now that's a "one of a kind" pen. Awesome work Tomcat.

 

[cnirenberg]

Jim,
Wow. That is very cool. I think you should relax and just make a few kit pens. Just kidding, keep that saw sharp.

 

[desertyellow]
