Time to Retire.

[Curly]

One of the metal finishers at work retired last week arty: and I decided to give him a pen rather than give to the cash collection going around the plant. Since one of his hobbies is fixing old clocks I thought a watch pen would be fitting. I had Marla :angel: glue on the parts (set the time to 4:30 for quitting time) and make the casting for me. You gotta use the expertise you have available. :wink: I turned, buffed and assembled the Emperor Rollerball, a Rhodium and 22 Karat Gold kit if I remember correctly. The guy loved it and said it was too much. That made it all worthwhile. :biggrin:

Very nice work Pete. You and Marla make a great team. I've always been impressed with her blanks. Especially after I was given a pen made with one of her feather blanks in my favorite color. I'm sure your friend will remember that gift for a very long time.

Awesome work. I need to get one of those blanks and make a pen for my future father in law. He's obsessed with a huge watch collection and would appreciate one of these.
