Now that is over the top. Great job and great use of a different media. I like that alot. Thanks for showing.

Amazing pen Peter well done.

nice pen
great adaptation
I'm sure the recipient will love it

me - I get this aching whirring noise in my skull every time I look at it

Peter, a reminder of terror in the pen! Amos

Very well done Peter very clever you mate should love it

Peter my friend, always thinking outside the square, great thought and execution has been delivered here, you are truly a master of this craft. I like this a lot.

The sequel is the guy I made this for already has it earmarked as a special graduation gift to dear friend the daughter of his mate who graduates in Dentistry shortly so I said give me another Dentists handpiece ( They cost from hundreds of dollars to thousands) and I will make another for him. I am going into a new avenue in Pen Making and this guy has saved me upwards of hundreds of dollars in used equipment with the promise of more to come. As I say the worth of a pen.
Apparently the fees for the six year training on Govt assistance could be 200.000 plus to pay back, this girls Dad stumps up first of each year in front.
Sure this pen is no huge outlay for me but is unique to them and appropriate as a double gift.
Regards Peter.

Neat pen, well done.

Please be very aware and careful in your pursuit of a high speed drill. My mate tells me customers come to him to repair 200.00 Chinese air driven handpieces and ask how much to repai them he says 200.00 and they say thats the cost of a new one and he says yes. My check on these a while back on the internet is warranty is short you have to return to China for whatever etc etc (lot of fine print)
Go to a friendly maker of false teeth ask what they use,reliability, go to Jewelers ask the same. Get more real facts to begin making a careful choice.Go to the experts first.
Have success please. Regards Peter.
