Any takers??

Pull the top off & screw in a new Cross type refill & keep writing. The shine comes back by hand buffing with paste wax. I used Carnauba wax on these. 3 coats.

Are those Pens a Pain in the Ass to make since EVERYTHING is so small ??? hell what size Hole is that where the Tip comes out of ??? about .080 ??? I SURE DO wish I knew how to use one of those Writing Contraptions

Maybe my Wife will teach me since she is SO GOOD at writing in the Check Book

I also like the M-14(or is it sumptin else ??? ) on the one Pen,,you DID a Hell of a Job on them Glen

Thanks for the kind words guys!!

Bob-- Where the pen comes out is a standard pen size just like all pens. The tricky stuff is all inside.

They aren't real hard to make with regular wood but that maple will give a person some fits. It takes 2 hours of work just to get them ready for finish. But they are fun to make & I enjoy the time while I'm doing it.

I will find out the "Frustration" myself,,maybe this week sometime,,I am going to make some Keepers,,I will have to TRY and make some time,,I have been BUSY AS HELL !!! for being Laid off I Am awful busy

I KNOW they aren't near the Difficulty a Pen is BUT Knowing myself,I can make it Difficult

But that is what I was talking about in the previous Post,,that HOLE looks AWFUL SMALL

heck at least when I make something on a Lathe out of Steel,I can use a Reamer and its done,,But if I was Boring a Good size Hole it was STILL a Pain in the Ass,,unless it was a Grease Groove and I had .015" - .025",,Hell A Blind Man could hit that Tolerance !!!
Even a HALF Blind man could hit that Tolerance

But that damn Small Hole in the end of that Pen looks REAL SMALL !!!

YOTERS DEN · September 18, 2007, 03:29:03 AM

I received my pen from Glen, the other day,..

and wanted to say they are well made and very attractive, definately don't let anyone borrow it!

because I'm sure you would never see it again!

I got the one with the rifle as the pocket clip, they write nice and smooth and are well balanced to hold.

Thanks Glen

Very Nice looking pens HaMeR, I'll chalk that up on the list of things I need to try someday

HaMeR · September 18, 2007, 06:02:28 PM

Thanks Coulter!! Just holler & I'll get you one. Or two. Or three.

Coulter · September 18, 2007, 06:25:32 PM

I would love to get one from ya, but I gotta be honest...I would either tear it apart to see how it was made, or I would chew the end of it off.

Bad habit I guess. Again they are beautiful pens and you can't go wrong on the price your asking. That is dirt cheap for a custom turned pen :shck: I was actually thinking about turning a few for Christmas gifts or something. Lets see some more of what ya have

FinsnFur · September 18, 2007, 09:07:09 PM

Yeah quit holding out on us

HaMeR · September 19, 2007, 02:48:11 PM

@ the pen chewer!!

I'll get a few posted that I have here for you all to see.

And as for the prices,,, I think they are fair myself. They are Cross pens & use Cross refills. The local Staples sell the cheap plastic Cross pens starting @ $19.99!!

To me thats just too much when you can have something to actually look at & know it was made one at a time versus 100's per minute from a machine. These are truly "Made in America" pens & will stay that way forever.

Mainly cuz I don't think there's a better place on this Earth to live!!

I'll get a few pics up for you here in a day or two. I gotta go to my 2nd job now & sling some paint.
