Yep, I got that stuff, it just seemed to me that the brass was getting too thin to do what I was looking to do with it. I guess the main tool that I am missing is experience with metal work.
 
My entry is finished, Been days working on it, I will post it tonight when the stand is finished. Thanks for all the confidence, I will try not to let you guys down. >>>The Cat :cat:

Hi boys and girls here is my humble entry. Looks like Bruce was on the same track. I have been working on this for days and about fell over when I saw Bruce's rocket. Anyways, whats more patriotic than a good old fashioned U.S. missile so here it is, a "SAM" Surface to Air Missile click pen and swivel launcher base. To extend the pen you push the tail fin assembly.. I built it with a Berea flat top click mechanism. Hope you all like it, I will post pictures of the construction in the SOYP forum.

Can anyone give me the formula for C4:confused:...........gotta an idea working!:eek:

Here you go BOB

C-4 is made up of explosives, plastic binder, plasticizer and, usually, marker or taggant chemicals such as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) to help detect the explosive and identify its source.
As with many plastic explosives, the explosive in C-4 is RDX (cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene trinitramine), which makes up around 91% of C-4 by weight. The plasticizer is diethylhexyl or dioctyl sebacate (5.3%) and the binder is usually polyisobutylene (2.1%).
Another plasticizer used is dioctyl adipate (DOA). A small amount of SAE 10 non-detergent motor oil (1.6%) is also added. C-4 detonates with a pressure wave of about 8,040 m/s (26,400 ft/s), or 28,900 km/h (18,000 mph).
C-4 is manufactured by combining the noted ingredients with binder dissolved in a solvent. The solvent is then evaporated and the mixture dried and filtered. The final material is an off-white solid with a feel similar to modelling clay. The plasticized form of RDX, composition C-4, contains 91% RDX, 2.1% polyisobutylene, 1.6% motor oil, and 5.3% 2-ethylhexyl sebacate.

It may take some work but I am willing to keep trying and hope others will too. He made a nice pen, that doesn't mean I'm going to throw in the towel, that means I have to come out swinging. I'm just going to have to come up with a real bunker buster. Now if I only knew how.

Remember, this is a pen making contest, not a pen holder contest. It is a nice pen though.
 
Neil, It may well be a waste of time, but as I recomember (that's redneck for reckoning and remembering) this was supposed to be fun, I mean just cause some of these guys are PMG members doesn't mean they can't be whupped it my require some serious whuppass but since I'm an old man, I really don't have much else to do except apply Poison Oak Medicine to both legs and one other place I'd rather not mention.
 
You guys are too much, Please keep posting your pens and don't mind me, I have something seriously wrong with my brain :) I am working on my real submission pen now, we get two chances right ? :rolleyes:
