Light Saber

[firewhatfire]

I have not been getting a lot of free time to make pens here lately. So I went for quality over quantity on this one. It's been in the works for some time and I pleased to say it did actually work. I built a light saber from alumalite blanks from Jonathon Brooks. I used a 6mm meister nib. I used 2 grey blanks and 2 of the translucent red ones. I took a LED flashlight apart to get my batteries and such. Comments and critiques are welcome and thanks for looking.

Hmm, make that puppy out of wood and you've got a magical wand/fountain pen! ;)

Love the different take, very original!

Seriously, great job - quite out of the ordinary pen I'd say.

May the nib be with you....

It was a fun build. Learned alot whilw building it, and think it will make a great display piece when I do shows.

It is a fun looking pen. I have actually looked for light saber shaped pens but never really found anything in the fountain pen world. Yours may be the first. :)

After I redo te nib holder section, I may actually put this one on the market. I want to do it in the red to match.

heh. set up your booth at comic-con. I've never been to one, but I feel the force is disturbing. Or something.

Cool! With a different material and slight design modification it can be a Harry Potter wand pen!!

I would be a sucker for the Elder Wand pen. :bump2:

I might have to give one a go. Could be a fun little project

this has been a fun pen to show around. Folks always want to know if I can add sound effects.
