I think I know someone who stole a pen from you XD
bigbrothersbinary
When i was in HS i made my pen from a inert 50bmg shell. Had a threaded cap containing my usb sticks and everything. Then someone stole it.

Op, you're so fancy!
frenchy864
Thank you!
hawlinrumpz
Why does the pencil also look like a ballpoint pen?
frenchy864
It kinda does, but if you look close you can see there is no "ball".
hawlinrumpz
Ahh, thank you!

I like the wife pen best

I have a French (Canadian) friend who makes wooden fountain pens. He met Celine Dion and gave her one to use for autographs at a concert,
khaleesimotherofkittycats
and now I'm realizing how progressively Canadian this situation is sounding haha
frenchy864
Haha, that's still awesome though.
khaleesimotherofkittycats
He was very proud! Haha
originalBabewiththePower
These are gorgeous. My cousin made me a beautiful fountain pen I love.
slydude71
Would you be willing to make and sell one to me? Would be awesome if you could make me a black and red version of the black one.
frenchy864
Yes I would sell one. That style would be about $45 shipped.
slydude71
Sounds fair to me, how should we talk about details?
frenchy864
Message sent.
LibraShane
Now show us a detailed video of you making the pens. Don't be a tease.
frenchy864
I've had lots of requests so I think I'll have to at some point.

I've pressed a few together - Little shits sell quick. What do you use for turning them down and your final polish?
Snotgrot
Last batch I made (Can't find my finished photos)
Snotgrot
Found one
Snotgrot
My little metal lathe (That red smear on the chisel - Blood. Wood Chuck Pro chisel is sharp)
frenchy864
Super nice. I use a Jet Lathe, roughing gouge and micro mesh for the polish.
phoenixfromashes
I need a special pen too. nice work
frenchy864
I make them to order, whatever you want.
phoenixfromashes

frenchy864
Start with type first, Pen or Pencil?
phoenixfromashes

frenchy864
Ok, next is mechanism: Cap, Twist, Click, or Bolt Action?
ohgreatcthulhumonster
My grampa made pens when he was on his downswing. Each of us got one at his funeral. still have mine.
drbeverlycrushinit

Just kidding, cutting, drilling, gluin, turning, sanding, polishing, then press together.

I love bolt pens. Pretty cool but I prefer narrow metal pens like MaxMadco's

...Are you the guy I met at Katsucon or are you a different guy with no online store who makes pens?
frenchy864
Different guy online who makes pens with no store.
watzername
My mom has a pen like the black one(bullet tip, bolt action, little gun shirt clip), except on hers the black part was carved antler.
frenchy864
I've seen antler ones, I heard they smell horrible to turn. So I'm a little apprehensive to do one lol
mastervexer
After cutting an elk antler with a power saw it does stink
frenchy864
Weird, I've heard on multiple occasions it's nasty. Ebony wood smells horrible also when turning it.
Twichy
How many pens have you made? Perhaps 15?
DONTsendtits
Pen15
frenchy864
Oh, more than that. Probably over 30 so far.
Twichy
The bolt action one looks sick. U should do one that looks like a kar98 with real wood.
frenchy864
I make them to order, all custom made.
Twichy
Nice, you got a website?
frenchy864
No, unfortunately. I just do it as a hobby. Mainly for friends, family, and coworkers. I've made a couple for some Imgurians though.
Singularitycreated
Can you make fountain pens @OP?
frenchy864
Yep, the "Jester" in the post is actually a fountain pen.
Singularitycreated

frenchy864
That is shipped also
frenchy864
$45 for the Jester you see in the pic.
Sauzey22

ErinFromTheOffice
They sell kits at hardware stores. You lathe the block down and add on the metal bits.
DeadHamster
I used to know a guy that restored antique pens. So fuckin cool.
mynamesjeffshortforjerrithan
You want to know where the store for the black pen is?
bobcat1721
That pen can go to any store it wants. It's not the 40's
frenchy864
I believe he does lol
mynamesjeffshortforjerrithan
(not sure if you got it or not) say my comment out loud.
frenchy864
I don't have a store or anything, I mainly just do it as a hobby. I have paypal and have shipped a couple to some Imgurians.

I agree with ExsanguinatingVaginalQueef here. That's pretty sweet.
frenchy864
Thanks!
frenchy864
Everything is custom made, so you decide on what type of pen you want and what material. So you will have a one of a kind pen.
YoKaichou
I may also be interested. Will message in the next few days if I make that decision.
frenchy864
Ok, I'll keep a eye out. They are all made to your specs, you choose the style pen and the material that goes in it. Also shape if applies.
LilSis061016
That's awesome! I'd be interested in options and knowing what you charge. That would make a great Fathers' Day present.
frenchy864
Just let me know if you want wood or acrylic. Whats types of colors you want. Also which style pen: click, twist, bolt action. 1/2
frenchy864
Price depends on the pen style and materials, usually start around the $30-$35 range.
TrijezniMujo
how much would a mechanical pencil cost? Like, I want a heavy brass lead pencil using 0.5mm leads.
frenchy864
I can do the bolt action bullet pen in a pencil, it has some weight to it.
TrijezniMujo
That could work, it's real brass, right?
frenchy864
The chrome or gunmetal finish would probably be heavier as the metal is plated. So that would get the weight you want.
idontlikepickingusername
can you do a fountain pen and if so how much would you charge?
frenchy864
The Jester in the pic is actually a fountain pen. $45 shipped.
idontlikepickingusername
do you have other examples of materials? I'm using a Parker Urban right now but it's wearing out pretty quickly.

Ya need an etsy shop, man
Bigworm666999
Put them on ebay if you want traffic. $45 for a fountain pen similar to any of these would sell easy!!
frenchy864
Tried it once and got 0 traffic. It's mainly a hobby anyway in my spare time.
