Rebar pen

[Penpal]

Made for the Steelies working outside our house for many months on a big construction for stormwater. We became good friends during this time. Gave and sold quite a few.

HINT choose if you can the softer(just a bit) Rebar used for bending. I did,nt know this at this time. Tough drilling. I lessened the weight but installing brass sleeves, also makes changing biros a breeze.

Very nice. It might look better though if it was rusty like real rebar!

Often wondered about using rusty Rebar in concrete never had a real answer.

In a nearby city Queanbeyan on our border in NSW the Govt there built their Council chambers using deliberately rusted steel finish on the outside, gives me the shudders.

THe pens look nice when buffed to a shine.

Peter, the ''deliberately rusted steel '' is Cor-Ten Steel.
It's made to rust on the surface which forms a protective
barrier. In the 70's they used quite a bit of it here.
The big sell was ''maintenance free, no painting''.
I installed a lot of it in the form of ''finger joints'' on a few bridges
in the NY area.

Thanks Angelo having spent my time preventing its hard to celebrate the appearance of rusted. I take your point though it has its place. Thanks mate.
