Yeah i buy internal kits. It has the transmission, tube, pen cartridge, and some other pieces.
Mostly i just turn down wood or acrylics into the exterior handle piece of the pen. Its pretty cathartic because you end up with a product that reflects your effort and each one will be completely unique.
I like to just browse Wikipedia. It’s an endless wealth of knowledge that never ceases to impress me. It’s like the modern library of Alexandria.
I also make cocktails for fun, target shoot, fish, ride trails (not trials), make pens, collect knives, play skyrim, and i cook too.
I bounce between what i focus on often.
you make pens? Like ink pens?
Yeah like ballpoint pens
That’s really cool! Do you have to buy specific materials, or do you buy other pens and take them apart to make new ones?

what’s the transmission on a pen?
Its the piece that clicks and moves the ballpoint in or out of the housing. On some pens it clicks and on others it twists. Its just the moving part.
