Nice job! I really like it, however the TSA probably won't let you on the plane with it. Ha! They can be pretty anal about things they don't understand like a 30.06 casing. How do I know? They would not let my dad take a 357 Mag shell key fob through the check point. even though it didn't have a primer in the primer pocket and it had a hole drilled through it for the key ring.
Nice pen as all of your products are. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Walt.
Yes pretty risky to try and take these on a plane. I always warn my customers not to take them to the airport, but some still try to take them through.
There is one guy at the security X-ray at Mackay airport who has confiscated a few of these pens now as well as some 50 caliber pens, it usually means another sale for me because they want to replace it.
I am still experimenting with my new lighting set-up. These LED's don't seem to replicate the colours as good as the old lights, but with a few tweaks in PP I can get it close.
I used a sheet of white paper in these shots to try and cut out some of the reflections, I think I am getting closer.
This pen is a click ballpoint, I used a resin blank that was made at the same time as the one I used for the bullet pen on the last page, the other one was chosen for the commissioned pen, this was a leftover.

I agree 100%
OK, I realised its been a long while since I posted in here, so I took some pics of this pen before it went to its new owner.
I am still making pens, but most have been just straightforward jobs and I haven't been photographing them.
This one is to replace one that was lost, its a different colour to the original, but because of the short notice this will have to do, this is a leftover piece of resin that I mixed a while back for another commission.

Awesome looking pen mate.
I have been making these Stylus pens for use with PDA readers. A guy that brings my freight a couple of times a week was always complaining about the crappy stylus's that were supplied to him, so I made him one like this. It has created a bit of a market for them because all his workmates want one as well. I make one every week or so, it gets snapped up pretty quickly.

Yep love this excellent work as usual. Hey can you do pens with writing in them?
Short answer, yes.
Long answer, I am still perfecting my method, but getting very close. Writing and/or jpeg files cast in clear resin.
