Description
This neat little key ring pen came about when a friend mentioned the idea of having a pen on their key ring so they always had something to write with.
It was made using a mobile phone electronic printed circuit board formed into a tube and then cast in transparent polyester resin. The finished blank is the cut to make the two parts of the pen body. These two blanks are then turned on a wood lathe to the required diameters to fit the 22ct gold plated fittings.
Once the shape has be completed they are sanded smooth using several grades of wet & dry abrasive paper finishing with 1600 grit. A very fine polishing compound is then used to bring up the final shine whilst the blanks are spinning on the lathe.Once complete the various components are assembled using a ‘Parker Mini’ type refill.
The writing tip is extended by twisting the upper and lower body halves, then the opposite rotation to retract for safety. To replace the refill the upper and lower body parts are carefully pulled apart to allow the refill to be removed.
