Really interesting, thanks mate! Lots of work and detail - I have great respect for people who have the patience for that. Personally I wouldn't want one of the pens, but that's no criticism of the craftsmanship involved.

Thanks for posting that Cowboy, seems an awful amount of work and a bit over-the-top for me. Some good tips in there though, especially the silicon sealant mold, very clever.

I love these! I have been using resin for a couple of years and together with other crafts I was making paperweights in which I embedded small flowers or leaves from plants, bouquets and wreathes from weddings funerals etc as keepsakes ,watching your video has given me the idea for using the same idea in pens instead of paperweights!! or even both!!

Thanks Cowboy, a good set of videos. I like the fact that it wasn't choreographed and he seemed to have the same problems I would have.

I'm not a lover of the bling in this way but I'm sure any bride and groom would be so I also think they would demand a lot of money.

Probably one of the best video casts, he seems particularly suited to making calm and easy to follow videos.

I remember seeing these on YouTube. I fast forwarded most of the videos to the end as well. I'm sure there is a market for these ..... somewhere.

I found these vids a month or so ago, and really like the honesty of them. No frills or gimmicks, just a normal Bloke doing some good work!! :thumbs:

Only Brody could describe someone with a double braided beard as normal, and get away with it.:funny::funny:
