The Thin Blue....and Red Line

[Band Saw Box]

This is my second attempt at the idea I had for this pen. The first was came out nice but I had problems when I was putting it together and I had to scrap it. The white is Alumilite I ordered from Fred (PtownSubblie), The red and blue are Segmenting Accents I ordered from Arizona Silhouette. I cut the blank with my miter saw and glued up everything with CA. I'm happy with the way it came out. All C & C are welcome.

Very NICE !!! ... and CLASSY !!! ... the styling suits the cigar pen well !!!

Did you have any chipping from the miter saw blade ? .. carbide blade tips ? .. 10" or 12" blade ?

That simple touch and such a great looking pen. I mean "simple" from a user's point of view.
I like this design very much.

Thanks so much for all the great comments, I've been wanting to make this pen for a while but I put it off. I'm glad it came out as well as I hoped it was going to. I realized today why I had the problems I did with the last one I bought some extra cigar tubes and they are under size the bushing fit in very tight and when I try to put the parts in it breaks out the blanks. I did not have any chip out using a really worn 12" carbide tip blade. I wish I had a band saw at times for project like this.

Nice job dan, how long did it take to make it

Good job Dan.. You never ces to amaze me.. Just think it all started with a piece of corian in my garage..

Thanks Terry and Mike for your nice comment's. Terry I think it was about 90 minutes but some if that was drying time. Mike I do think about that day often especially when I turn piece of corian or when wet sanding a acrylic or alumilite blank.
