Not a oen, but uses pen parts
decided to see if I could make a cheap stylus as my kids school are mandating iPads next year. So, with a spare 7mm stylus end and a 7mm tube. I made a closed end stylus
Timer is a piece of Lychee
Finish is EEE and CA

Very clever use of parts. Well done. Certainly gives food for thought.

Potential for a necklace there. Might be a great way to not loose the thing. Although I guess they do have pencil cases. But do they if they have an ipad too?

I thought a stylus needed to have conductive surface. Does the timber work?
I have often pondered doing one. Love the idea.

That's what the rubber thing on the end is. They are sold to convert a standard pen into a pen/stylus combo

Well the first one turned out ok, thought I would do another one, but with a prettier timber. Dug out some blackwood from the box and had another go.
