LOL!!! Ladies and Gents, boys and girls, may I present the making of a Worthless Bolt :tongue:

This was my very last stainless bolt in my blank box and it was screaming to be made into a Worthless Bolt.
No pressure, no Vacuum, just a little bit of swearing:biggrin:

I'll post the finished pen in SOYP:wink:

Has anyone ever told you your lift doesn't go all the way to the penthouse? You are crazy! That is an awesome pen, and as always, you do great work.
 
That's just plain outstanding Steven. Looks like a fair amount of time involved in making this one but, well worth it I'm sure. The pen is amazing.
 
Skiprat,

It is so good to have you back posting again. Your designs are always super creative and your workmanship top notch! Thanks for sharing.

Think i'll have to pull you up on the "Trade Descriptions" there Steven.
That is never 'worthless', as with all your work it is totally 'Priceless'!!!
One day , maybe one day, i might make it to be 1% as good as you.

Whoa there Andy......back the trolley up a bit!!!. You were making pens at least as good as mine, long before I got here. You were also the one that travelled all the way to my place to teach me how to use a skew!! Now while I may not use a skew too often these days, it did teach me the meaning of SHARP!!!
It is also wonderful to see you posting again:wink:
 
Nice work. What kind of adhesive do you use to attach the resin & metal to each other?

The next logical step is to make a threaded base for it to sit on a desk?
 
Stephen,

You are one sick individual! You make this look so easy and I know it is not!

Thanks for coming back to IAP where you belong!!

I am amazed with your work and where you get your ideas.....!
 
George, It may be time that we step up to the plate and pass the hat to raise funds for one of our fellow members in need! Yes I will be the first to drop a coin in the hat to raise funds to buy Stephen a dozen shiny new stainless steel bolts. It would be a shame nay a crime to deprive Skip of his beloved materials from which he magicaly transforms them into divine masterpieces for us to worship.

Whos with me.

Beautiful Pen. I think you lift goes all the way to the penthouse. You are just either striped or cross threaded, but not rusty or tarnished.

Skiprat,
Your pens aren't out of the square, they are out of this WORLD. You make people strive for better and different pen designs. You really stretch the imagination.
Who would have thought that a simple bolt can become a work of ART.
Glad to see you back on board
