I have had this design of pen buzzing around in my head for a few weeks now so I made both of these today and had to stop bloody super glue orrible stuff it has closed my throat up and doing the photos I noticed I have done one of them wrong so that will go in the bin one black & white and one white & black I started by cutting up 1! strips of all 4 plastics then trued them up and cut then into 5/8" length's with a sledge on the band saw also made a jig to set the bits up in I also stuck a piece of wood on one end to stop break out when drilling I am going to leave them overnight and make the good one up tomorrow

They are going to look fantastic Woody. Go careful with that superglue, not that I need to tell you that but I was going through spells of not being able to breath for 2 days after even a minor whiff of it. I now have a respirator so that I can continue using it.

Thats pooped the idea I had when I got time, Young Charlotte was asking me to help her do something like this for the competition just gone.
I told her it would be cheating if I helped and haven't seen her since
