Cartridge Pen Contest Thread

[bitshird]

So far, I have only seen three that stayed with the theme of Red, White and Blue.

Too bad for the rest of you, LOSERS. You have nice pens, just wrong threme.

I thought before being allowed to talk trash, one had to submit an entry of a cartridge/casing pen done with either a 30-06 or a 308 casing could I be wrong as usual??I mean it has to be a real pen!! no body said any thing about using .221 casings or .762x39 at least at he onset of this contest.

 

[bitshird]

Might as well surrender, boys, cause here's my entry. Let the weeping commence.

Nancy these are tear of Laughter

Sigh, women are SOOOOOOO obsessed with size! :tongue:

It wasn't women who started the saying "size isn't everything"

 

[bitshird]

OK I'm also going to donate a prize, the prize will be a Woodchuck made just for pens, I don't have any pictures of this tool because it's really not a production model, the tool body is 6 inches long 8-1/2 over all it can use a square cutter or a radius, it will come with the radius cutter. I'll try and get a picture of one up in a few days,

Hey Ken, mighty kind hearted of ya. Been studing those things for awhile, this just might have pushed me over the edge!!

My pen was made with a 30-06.

But thanks for reminding everyone.

You are somewhat correct Ken. You must use at least the front 3/4 long section of a 30/06 or 308 somewhere in your pen. If you add additional cartridges of other types into the mix, then it's fine! Thanks for the new prize pack too!!!

Cav...yea, good luck with all the sifting through this thread!!! In the end..you'll figure it out. That's why you're the director!

 

[CaptG]

OK, OK, OK, I get back from a couple weeks at the boat and see all the crap that has been posted and decide to make a "quick" entry. So after 20 minutes of my time (not counting the 90 minutes it was curing in the toaster oven while I did other things in the shop[multi tasking]) here it is. Picture point out and picture point in, done by twisting the 30-06 case on the other end of the pen. Would you believe me if I said I was a noob at cartridge pens? I am drooling over Johnnycnc's prize package. OK, I thought not, sigh.

 

[CaptG]

OK, it has been 22 hours and no comments from the peanut gallery. This pen must be way better than I gave it credit for and and has all you wanna be's attempting to get your brains in gear (good luck with that) to figure out how to beat it , or just give up.

 

[bitshird]

Gary the pen's OK it's just your a nice guy and no body wanted to hurt your feelings :wink::wink: What happened to the Red White and Blue theme, I busted my hump working on unnatural nasty material to make a pen that was Red Whit and Blue so did a couple other poor chumps, we get Rockets wit perverted monkeys, Commie Russian jet's Rockets with out perverted monkeys by the way did he spank \his monkey while making that rocket?? Jeez what a strange bunch of stuff.

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

Boo Hoo I dont see no Red, White N Blue :crying::crying: In the spirit of patriotism I resubmit this pen, all my monkeys were on other assignments so "Porky" is gonna have to handle this one. Whats more American than pork and missiles!! For all U animal lovers out there I make the following statement, "NO Pigs were harmed during the Photo Shoot for this pen!! "

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

Gary, Nice Pen Holmes, don't mind Kens comments, hes got Red, White and Blue on the brain for some strange twisted reason only he can describe. Everybody whos anybody knows that Bullets, pigs and missiles made this country great :tongue:

 

[Rollerbob]

Ken, I'm so with you on the Red, White & Blue theme. :usflag: Don't let these bullies tell you any different! Jelousy has raised its' ugly head.:thunder: Hang in there , buddy!!:highfive:

 

[workinforwood]

Sorry Gary. I was at work. You must be a helluva shot to catch a bee inside that bullet!

 

[THarvey]

Sorry Gary. I was at work. You must be a helluva shot to catch a bee inside that bullet!

I would hate to see the size of the bee, considering he skewered it with a 30-06.

Well this is just one of the real Red White an Blue cartridges, between your Pig and Bruce's Monkey, I think we need to open a petting zoo instead of a pen contest, by the way you didn't catch that poor piggy while wearing rubber boot's did you? I don't think Y'all got many sheep round there do ya?

Ken, What are you some kind of animal hater OK, Here goes the trash talk so don't take the following statement personally, I think your pen should win first place IF this was the "Slingshot Ammo Contest" instead of the "Cartridge Pen Contest" You could snap it in half and have two entry's

You Connecticut Yankees ain't never gonna change are ya! First Y'all burned Atlanta, then made us pick our own cotton,:frown: now you wanna shoot us our pork chops fat back and bacon with guided missiles Will the atrocities never end? As for Bruce he's gonna have to deal with his monkey his own self, We don't beat no monkeys around here!!:tongue:
By the way Why aren't you at work??

 

[CaptG]

Monkey spanking, pigs on rockets, other things I just can not repeat here, I am going back to the boat. But am taking laptop to keep up with this great stuff.

 

[bitshird]

Gary it give a whole new dimension to "When Pigs Fly"

 

[greeneyedblackcat]

:cat: That pig is an American hero test pilot risking his life for pen supremacy and ultimately world pen domination!! :airplane::airplane::airplane::airplane:

 

[bitshird]

Like I said, "when pigs fly" !!!!!

 

[wudnhed]

This is a cartridge pen, almost pure cartridge. It WAS NOT made by me :frown: but by one of our members :wink:, (I asked permission to submit). I added the RW&B tape just so some of you won't bash too badly. Its too hot outside for me to turn anything so I had to "borrow" what was here:redface:. If anything is won, it will be donated:biggrin:.

 

[workinforwood]

Thanks Becca. It's really cute, a mini pen. Is it the first cartridge this person has made..and/or are they real new to turning?

 

[bitshird]

Becca that's a neat pen, nice thing is it looks like a cartridge WOW I've seen one done like that by Les from Red Deer at least I think that's his name, he does a lot of real cool stuff with cartridges,

 

[wudnhed]

Thanks Becca. It's really cute, a mini pen. Is it the first cartridge this person has made..and/or are they real new to turning?

I think my answer to these questions must be "No." In fact, he has already entered the contest.:wink:

Now that's original. Who would have thought you could make a dip pen from a casing.

 

[bitshird]

Steven That really is unique, I am amazed at your creative genius, you and the catman are absolutely great. Also thanks for clearing something up for me, I have wondered if PR Princess's resin would work as a clear, I thought it would now I can try labels.
Sir I salute you

 

[workinforwood]

Not only does the pen and inkwell look great Steve, but I especially like how Dip goes with Skip!:rotfl:

LOL, you are so sharp, you better be careful you don't cut yourself:biggrin:

Why are you up so early Jeff??? Did you wet the bed or something

Think I should change my nickname from Skiprat to Dumpster Dipper?:biggrin:

 

[maxman400]

OK I'll join in even though it's late in the game, this is my first cartridge pen I made it just a few days before the contest started so I hope it qualify's
it's a 30.06 with copper trim and Ancient Mars upper.

 

[workinforwood]

Awesome Max...it's not too late at all! I like that avatar..that would be a good pen!

 

[maxman400]

Blazing Bullet

YES YES YES I know it is COPY-RAT:smile-big:, but he has such great ideas!!! After I saw Skiprats version if this style pen this morning I remembered this piece of Molten Metal that I had in the shop that was just screaming for this pen.
So here it is, it has copper trim and a 30.06 case.
