Description
I make this pen as a gift for a friend who has done extensive work on one of my cars. Through his company Constella Service and Repairs he went over and beyond what most garages would have done. It was just my way of saying a big “Thank You!”
I decided to use the shock absorber pen design as it is both unusual and in keeping with his mechanical interests. Damson wood was used for the removable cover as it was from a tree grown in our garden. It further adds to the personal nature of the pen and looks extremely attractive. To further the personalisation I replicated the business logo as a waterslide transfer and applied it prior to applying several coats of Melamine spray lacquer. This form of finish is both moisture resistant and hard wearing.
With this pen design the spring platforms actually compress the spring just like the real thing! Once the Damson wood cap is unscrewed it can be fitted to the opposite end of the damper to help with the pens ergonomics.
The refill is a Parker mini type available at most good stationary suppliers and can be changed by unscrewing the writing tip from the main body of the pen before pulling out the refill.
This design is an ideal gift for the petrol-head in your family or friends!
