Very nice Bill. Now this isn't normal but as you do a lot of work for your charity, if you were to put a price on them I'm sure they would have one or two buyers, especially as its a forces charity.

That is of course if you are making them for charity

 

[Bill Mooney]

Hi Paul,
I donate money from each sale of anything I sell not only pens. I have sold over 400 pens up to now. I do it as occupational therapy & don't want to make it a job. I make things when & as I want to not because I have to meet targets. The charity has & is still helping me & many others who have sight issues so much I feel I want to say thanks.

Did you say the top couple are made from blank ends glued together? Respect - I couldn't tell from the photo.

 

[Bill Mooney]

Yes David I step the crop ends so they are glued at 45* when the blank is cut. This stops the joints from being as visible as the eye does not discern the joint as easily. It takes 7 crop ends to make a slimline & I use thin ca to get a tight joint.

[wm460]

You have done well there Bill

 

[Twister]

do u make all your pens from "off cuts "
is this a preference?
i see that is for charity ..so guess that every bit is a saving
i cant see the joints
