Chad. Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Like a pen that you write with, I just go to the store Quote
Daiwa Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 Like a pen that you write with, I just go to the store Haha, you are funny. No these pens reach to about 60 bucks!! Quote
Daiwa Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 Ok here are some pictures on them. The 2 colored one was my first pen, the wood one is my second. It takes about 45min each. Selling might come soon. My dads going to make a website for it if he does deside to start selling. These small, they are called slender, pens reach about 30 bucks. The "cigar" pens reach about 60 bucks. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted April 13, 2008 Super User Posted April 13, 2008 Those are pretty cool but the top one looks bent. What got you involved into making pens? Quote
Daiwa Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 Thanks, they are very hard but very fun to make It was sitting on my bed with the cat above the pens so the pen was tilted alittle so yes it does look bent but its not. My dad got me into it. Quote
Dean Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Next... balsa wood crankbaits ;D Heck, why not balsa wood pens? Quote
Daiwa Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 Next... balsa wood crankbaits ;D Heck, why not balsa wood pens? I was thinking about that but balsa is WAY to soft. It would crack and split and isnt hard enough for a pen. Quote
Chad. Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Dude, the cool kids have magnesium titanium carbon fiber pens. Quote
