reposting this image since its about pens. From Revs (if I'm not mistaken, Im quite sure because I recognized the name) from the SS, I use this Zebra each and every day in my classrooms. I absolutely love it and its gotten me interested in getting more nice pens.
Of course this thread is about pens. And other things I turn. I started the leather thread for my leather projects.
If you like the Zebra 402, you ought to go get a Zebra 701 to compare the difference. 701 will run around $5 but it is a little heavier and I think it feels better in hand. Then, if you like that one, call me up and we can get you a custom made pen in acrylic or wood.
Which version of the bolt? What material? The bullet bolt with a basic wooden or basic acrylic body runs about $45 shipped priority. I can do a Tech bolt for the same. If you want a more exotic wood, fancy acrylic or stainless braid, the prices go up according to the blank cost. I know Gaboon ebony is getting very expensive lately. M3 metal blanks usually $20-30 to the price since they are so damn expensive.
That looks gangsta, will fir right into a certain German's EDC
These pens are beautiful.

Mini billiard ball lanyard/keychain. Found almost a full set that once bonged to my kids and thought I might try making keychain beads out of them.
Have them listed on FB for $35, but, if any of you guys want one, I could knock 5 off. $30 shipped priority. 8 ball is mine. So is the 5. A couple have sold. If anyone is interested, pm me
Thinking of getting some new belts and some 1095 carbon steel and trying my hand at a cleaver and kiridashi. I think the little HF 1x30 with some Norton Blaze belts will do okay for a short while. Just need the funding to get the supplies. Meanwhile, I think I'll sketch out some ideas. Figure the kiri and cleaver will be easiest to get right. And 1095 I should be able to heat treat at home. Just need to repurpose the aluminum foundry to forge duties. 1475 F is doable out of it. Then quench and temper at 500-ish for a couple hours and on the sharpening and handles.
Mine is a steel coffee can, piece of iron pipe and a hair dryer. Nothing fancy. Need to insulate it. Gets hot enough to melt aluminum so it will heat treat steel.
Been busy with work and no room to set up shop so this thread has been really quiet lately. Hoping to get this pen turned soon. Blank is drying and just needs to be trimmed and turned.
Well, tried a GITD blank that doesn't look plain when in the sun. I like it. I could also do a different glow color and use a different crushed stone. Might try a couple others. Still have some alumilite left.
