Hi,
i gave one of these to friend a week or so ago to match a pen i made some time ago in spalted beech.
Ended making another 6 to give away because of it, i don't mind.
Has anyone sold or even made any of these little i pad, i phone little scribes ?
I haven't tried yet but am going to soon as they were very popular and i was surprised.
The one below is a gift for a friends wife and all the colours match her i pad.
Hopefully she will put it on facebook as she has a long reach !
Red and gold web or matrix trustone i can never remember on a TB sierra, i pad thing which goes into ear phone socket i think is from America, it was a while ago.
Criticism welcome and appreciated.
Pete

The pen looks very nice, selling these in a pair is a good idea, i havent seen this any where on the net so you may just have a good market on these. .

Look good Pete, good giveaways but don't think you'll get rich on them. I made and sold quite a few of telescopic stylus from penn state before the introduction of the sierra stylus and they sold but the margin wasn't great.

Neil,
sorry mate it was a while ago i can't remember. The only places i can find them are PSI and craft supplies usa.
I know i bought them abroad as i have two sealed bags full of them and i wouldn't generally buy that amount sadly in the Uk, cost wise.
probably PSI as they are $1 cheaper.

If you can sell these as a pair it could be a good niche pete especially if they are as good as the 2 you added.

Whatever you do do with this thing, don't do that.
I thought novel idea when shown in the shop and promptly smashed the screen, handed the broken phone along with still attached dibber back to the assistant.
Told her I was no longer interested and left a poor young stunned girl to face her manager while i beat a hasty retreat from said shop.
:devil::devil:

Well i must have found a weak spot.
The idea was to flip the dibber over and put it in my pocket being my usual suave sophisticated self, instead the dibber came down like a hammer on the screen and put a crack right across it and removed a chunk of the glass.

Steven i actually agree and don't use one myself, but how many Ladies do you know have those dingly dangly charms hanging from their phones ?
Thing if i just made pens and bowls etc that i or swwbo like it would be a small list of pens, but i know what you are saying.
Clumsy, i did think of that and have put a disclaimer on the website, did you you extend the cord by about a metre to get the required force ? Poor shop assistant !

I have to take you to task over these comments young man.

None in my case, and why the would I want to know, here we go again pandering to women ( a bunch of weird shaped squeaky hangers on ) Stand up for equal rights, throw yourself under a racehorse or chain yourself to the railings, anything to get attention, wake up FFS.

did you you extend the cord by about a metre to get the required force ?
Do you think I swung a sledge hammer at it? I can break dozen or more phones in a week that's why I was in the shop in the first place, we don't all sit on our fat arses all day.
