    Even tried a brass nut, turned down with th rest of the pen.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I have also glued some coloured card stock together of contrasting colours for a CB on a pen once. Rodent you metioned in the thread to Dazzler's topic, acrylic offcuts make an interesting mixed media pen, eg ebony barrels with a black with white swirl acrylic CB.

    what i want to do is solder up two tubes and solder on some surface mount components and mini resistors .then imbed it in resin should look good .auminium and pewter should turn well for center bands as well.I have also used coloured perspex .
