looks like some good craftsmanship, how much. haha

spin to extend and retract??

[ruthless351]

Yeah...that is very creative. Looks good also. What does he charge for one?

[94NDTA]

Yeah, it spins. He has been making pens for a while. Mainly wood turning. He said parts alone are about $20, and each pen takes a lot of work to make. He mainly does it as a hobby, but charges $45 to make them.

That is awesome.

[94NDTA]

All the components are gold titanium on them too. They are high quality.
He also does it with antler too. He has made a couple half shell, half antler, or both sides antler.

He can do pens out of almost anything. He uses Cross and Sheaffer pen mechanisms.

I'm trying to get him to make a pen out of a push rod.

We used to make those in shop class, all we did was ream them out a little bit and a regular pen cartridge slides right in. Or isnt that what you meant?

the bullet casing one you posted is pretty sweet though.

[94NDTA]

Well, he wants it to be functional and higher quality.

[legacy-user-532]

he who? arent you the one that wants it?

What do you mean by functional and higher quality? I cant picture what you are thinking. Something to spin to open and shut?

[94NDTA]

He as in my father in law (read earlier post) When I say functional, there is a difference between putting a cartridge and an actual mechanism in it. It requires more space than the cartridge, thus making the walls really thin. Yes, he would like it to spin open and shut. Like I said, he uses higher end components in the pen than just a cartridge.

We on the same page now?

[legacy-user-532]

100%

[SPANISH-RICE]

would he be willing to make one for me ? that would be a cool conversation piece for my customers and I

[94NDTA]

I'm sure. PM me if you are interested.
