Just a bit of fun to show our puzzle buddies that we dont buy our pens from a shop and just assemble them.
It's not finished yet, but it's too late to carry on in my workshop
Hopefully it'll be done tomorrow.
This one is being made from a couple of copper threaded studs (16mm) and some Emerald Green pr.

Very nicely done Steven!!
Question, how do you treat the red copper so that it does not tarnish?

Johan, one man's tarnish is a another man's patena
It 'could' be sprayed with lacquer, but that would just peel off eventually so now it just needs to be buffed up with Brasso every now and then. I've got a couple of copper and brass pens and they tend to stay looking ok if they are used.
Lou, I was going to make a clip, but then figured that it would be a ladies 'handbag-pen' as the copper would probably stain a shirt.
That's my excuse anyway

Stephen, I will "road test" that pen in my shirt pocket, if it doesn't stain i will keep it, if it does stain-- well --it will need more testing until it doesn't stain!

OK, I get it. End result will be a two tone green pen. One way of getting that result.
Only joking. That surely looks stunning!!
It'll be quicker to send it here for that road test Amos was talking about.
