Just for 'fun'

[Skiprat]

I think I must be a glutton for punishment to do this!! Or as Eagle would say, I'm having a brain fart

I won't bore anyone with words on what I'm attempting, but I'll just post a pic or two as I progress. Besides I have blisters on my blisters

Geez...looks like you do everything the hard way!

Is that the new dis-assembly tool for the 'window pens' ?

[DCBluesman]

This time I think you've gone around the bend, Steven.

[Skiprat]

Time to give the blisters a rest for a bit. My fingers are REALLY sore and my right arm is puffed up like Popeye's
I'll have to be careful when I hold my beer tonight as I could end up throwing it over my shoulder when I go to take a sip
I just have to get rid of any scratches and lumps'n'bumps then I'll start on the blank. Not sure what colour to use yet. Thinking of pearled dark blue or red?? Any suggestions?

I'm even more confused, but I vote RED.

[Canuck]

Yes, absolutely...two votes for RED here, even 'Pinhead' agrees

That I presume that thingamagic is a pen blank, but it surely looks suspiciously like the tool they use in hospital when they do an assameoptomy! 

About the color, stick with red since blood is red and it sounds like you've spilled some already. Looks great.  I know.... Patience to see the result!!!

Hi

I think we have a dentist here in the group in down under, may be he could use it as a tool for the turture with his patients

happy pauzzling

If I ever need an 'Ass-er-anything' I sure hope they use something a bit blunter than this!!!!!!

....and by the way, my blood is blue!!!! Royalty, don't you know

Just for clarity:  An assameoptomy is a procedure to cut off the nerve that runs from your ass to your face giving you that permanent crappy expression. 
 

It absolutely remarkable to see someone smile after that op is completed.

This looks like it is going to be one of your truly great creations Steven.
I would go along with a dark blue, it will show up the swirling line of the stainless more.

Damn Somebody gotta buy you a rotary tool.

LOL Phil,  I've got two but that would take all the 'fun' out of it.   I actually do like working with hand tools as I often think I can get better results and have more control.
I tried using a RT on something like this a while ago and find that the abrasive burrs available aren't really up to the job. The little re-inforced cut off discs are great though.  The little mounted stones don't last me five minutes either

I've got another pic that should clear things up for the Old Man. He might ever figure out what the long thin bit is for.
 I'll post it in about five mins.


OK, here's the pics with all the metalwork. LOL, when I stop rubbing and polishing the cap, maybe it will lose it's 'Stiffnes' and droop down over a pocket.
