Just in case you looked Brian, I apologise for the shear audacity of putting plastic pens on :funny:

Make from £1 notes (for the people that don't remember them).

Like these Paul. The blanks have come out well & the turning is your usual quality. You've certainly cracked the blank casting.:thumbs:

You have made a great job of that plastic pen mate. Well done init?
Is there a bit of leech at the ends or is it the note discoloured.
Wonderful in itself waste of bloody money though.

There are 3 pens there with 2 views of each. The three pens were made from a single £1. I've now ordered a 10s note and a £5 note. I would have got a £20 as well but its just silly money.

Like that, a good idea indeed.

As the others have said, you certainly seem to have cracked the casting lark.

You doing some feathers next then, after all you have a reasonable source of supply?

Looks great Paul. Can I ask a couple of questions ?

What resin are you using ?

What moulds do you use for casing ?

What do you use to glue the note to the tube prior to casting ?

:drool:Vic:drool:
