One of my 'want to have a go at' pens. Is a Copper Wire wound and soldered Blank and turned into a pen.
As 'Woody' posted turning soft metal on a wood lathe is not too hard.*So I had a go today.
PenKit - Sierra Upgrade Gold.
Blank - 18AWG Copper Wire, Lead-Free Solder.Capped each end with Green Polyester (needed to so as to keep ends tidy)
Finish - Loads of Sanding up 12000 grit and Brasso - 4 coats CA and more Micromesh.
The soldering and sanding was the hardest bit... Woody was right as expected - Cheers
And Cheers 'Bellringer' for pdf file on how to do this.
