What Mrs Cat wants, Mrs Cat gets :)

[greeneyedblackcat]

So there I was minding my own business and my lovely wife the "PA" (Pen addict ) says Quote: "Bullets and gun pens are nice but can you make me a girlie pen, like maybe a Seahorse? " End Quote. So now Mrs cat has a shinny new seahorse pen. It is a roller-ball built from aluminum and stainless.Needless to say Mrs Cat is now happy as a fox in a hen house. And you know what they say "Happy wife, happy life" Hope you like it :cat:

Sweet pen! You are one heckuva machinist!

Sweet pen! You are one heckuva machinist!

Ron, all the machine work on this pen was done by hand (I do not use CNC machinery), This pen was machined from a solid billet of T4 aluminum. It was a lot of work but my lovely wife was ecstatic when I unveiled it.


I would also like to thank everyone that posted for the great responses to this pen, Hard work pays off

Nice work! With just a little modification, you could make a it into hand grenade pen (but don't tell your wife I said that).

LOL :rotfl: A hand grenade would be EASY on a lathe, food for thought :biggrin:

Hard to write with a hand grenade. The pin could be the writtin' part...

Hearing Abbott and Costello in my head:

Where's the pen?
It's in the pin.

The pen is in the PIN?
The pin IS the pen.

 

[ldb2000]

[ngeb528]

If your wife hadn't claimed it, I would have suggested you send it to me for extensive testing - oh well. Great job!!

 

[mrburls]

James what can't you do !!!!!! Beautiful piece of work. The coral stand is perfect with seahorse pen.

Tho you say it's just a seahorse, knowing you, I think it's rigged somehow & will explode..

 

[cnirenberg]

Jim,
You have done it again. Just when I thought it was safe too. I love it.

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

Tho you say it's just a seahorse, knowing you, I think it's rigged somehow & will explode..

Explode Hadn't thought about that :biggrin: You could probably put the pen cap in a slingshot and do some damage.

 

[GouletPens]

My wife always tells me to quit horsing around in the shop....but yours told you to START horsing around in the shop!! Very cool pen, I can't even think how you made that.

 

[stoneman]

Hey - this is getting tiring :biggrin: - What can I say - AWESOME yet again.

 

[JohnU]

I dont know how you could possibly price your pens. They are the definition of "one of a kind". It makes me want to throw my stuff away! Nice work!

 

[DKF]

You are over the top man! Nice, nice, nice.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

With the right tools they say anything is possible but you need to know how to use them and you most certainly know how.Your talent and imagination far surpasses most here. You need to make more of the non lethal pens, this one is .........extraordinary

Thanks for the kind words, I am flattered by the comments but if you guys keep talking like this I might get a BIG HEAD I will try to invent some more of the non lethal ones but they all will be kind of crazy cuz that's just me

 

[titan2]

What would be interesting would be a photo montague or even video clips of your creation process of one of your pens. They are truly awsome!!! :good: From thought to paper to picking of stock, milling, turning, fiting, polishing etc.

You leave me wanting for words to describe how I feel about your work......you're the 'MAN'!!!

While I have seen most of these pics (in the wee hrs of the night, when I can't sleep), they are continual sources of inspiration and creativity.

And, its great to see some of the "Masters" chatting. I have no aspirations for metal artistry, but boy can I appreciate it. Well done folks!

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

Phil, glad someone actually remembers me, Thanks for the kind words. I still make pens but it takes an act of congress to get me to build one! Too many projects and not enough time.
