Had a challenge from a friend today, said I could make any pen from anything.

He gave me a piece of 2.5 T&E electrical cable..

Here is the result..

Wound around the brass tube then soldered in place and then turned and polished.. He was speechless.:face:


Won't bother doing another one. needs a bit more solder in places but came out good for a bet..

I'm not surprised he was speechless, that is one belter of a pen and one for the top drawer. :thumbs:

I really like that and will put it on my to try list (note I said TRY:whistling:). Did you put laquer or CA on top after polishing?
