Having posted a puzzle as my last project, even from 16,000km away I couldn’t look Pottzy in the eye
by publishing 2 in a row.
As a peace piece offering, I made a quick 12,000km western wing flap from Aussieland to Mount Moriah to "altar" this sacrifice,
Not having a non-puzzle project on the drafting board, noticing some pen contribution, a number of rev-heads and a fiery or two one here at CN, I am importing this posted at LJ on 17th Aug, 2020.

Boys and Girls,
After my previous presentation of a few "pens" for illiterates, I thought it was time to prove that there is diversity in the literary profession and you just don't need to stick to the keyboard or those simple run of the mill writing implements.
While there has been an explosion of individual bullet pens (I am planning on a collage of bullet pens in the future), I thought I'd present a group of some of the unknown pens that the non-pen turning enthusiasts may be oblivious to. Perchance you may have a friend that could be pleasantly surprised by one of these offerings from you.
Going the round robin of the gallery pictures,
Steam Punk Bolt Action. OK, may still be a bullet pen, but like steaming bullshit, it's a punky one. Like other bolt action, push/pull the bolt, to spit some ink.
Gear Shift. Six gear action, however, don't be fooled, two bottom ones are the parking gears and the two top are the overdrive… nothing in between.
Motorcycle ballpoint. Like a lot of bikers (push) wired up in spandex… all show and no action... and a Hell's Angel depending on a razor laser to intimidate. The clip does bugger all as the top twists for the action, however, the skull may scare the bjesus out of the kids.
Fireman's Ball Point. The clip is BIG, and it needs to be pushed on the handle or pulled on the head, for a toggle activation, to shower out the ink.
Shock Absorber. The spring actually works if you're heavy handed but that only fools the crowd. The operator must unscrew the body part and re-screw it on the other end to get any grease to flow from the pen.
Do yourself a favor and check out some of the kits. Pen turning is addictive , but most of all, a great source of that personalised gift for a friend… it doesn't cost a fortune and only a few hours to build.
Sorry guys, gals and others, but… not a bloody slimline in sight…
