Phantom Scroller Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hi All . I thought I'd pop this one on for you to see, a friend of mine just finished building his kitchen with either tiger wood or zebra wood for worktops he didn't have a clue which and gave me some off cuts. So I thought I'd make him a slimline pen and guess what can't find my kits in the workshop, so I had a couple of bic pens handy and made this instead, hope he likes it. What do you think? Roly.

keefie Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Very nice Roly, I've made a few of those Bic pens myself - did you remember to drill a small hole in the side near the top of the pen to let the air in? I didn't on the first few I made and the ink tends to airlock about a third of the way down. Keefie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Keith never done that before you have a point about air being trapped how small a hole surely you'll see it.
