$500 pen

[Brian Greb]

Well not really but his pen is money... shredded money... and hopefully it's worth it's weight in the green stuff. I just had to give this oddity a try. Enjoy.

Beautiful Oddity Brian, very unique. Hope you get your money back out of this one!:)

[John Keeton]

Brian, it just has that look of "old money!!" Nice work, and truly unique.

very cool, you mine explaining how this is done. Is the money just shredded, thrown in a tube and then mixed with CA?

Honestly I purchased the blank from Rockler. But how they made it is they took destroyed currency from the federal reserve and mixed it in to clear in-lace material and laid it in to a form, then cut the blanks when hardened.

If you visit the treasury or the bureau of engraving on a tour you can get shredded money and make you own blank... but buying the blanks is much easier.

The blanks are on sale at Rockler right now for $4.99 not bad in my opinion.

Oh. I thought you meant the kind of pen that taxpayers pay for and the president signs one letter of his name with and then gives it away as a souvenir to another rich person.

I wonder how you would get in to that racket:D

I would be pretty cool to be the guy(or group of guys) that made the pen/s that the 45th president (or as I like to think of him/her Obama's replacement... or the fixer) uses.:cool:

I must do research now.

It looks good... I like the gunmetal/black titanium coloring of the kit with this blank. I'm assuming you painted the inside of the blank with black paint.

Actuly I used black titanium tubes to match the black titanium kit.

[David E Keller]

Even better. That may be why it seems to match so well. I like this one a lot better than the money pen I made a while ago.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking pen. Well done.

[Jon Lanier]

I like your blank! I did a couple and it just didn't look like money. Your's looks like you are nuts... why did you cut up money to make a pen?

[Jim Sebring]

Those are fun pens to give to friends and family. I made one of those for my daughter a couple of Christmases ago. She's a CPA :D I also made a pen for my DIL out of Bloodwood. She's a Physicians Assistant :rolleyes:
