That's really cool! Do you have to buy specific materials, or do you buy other pens and take them apart to make new ones?
Yeah i buy internal kits. It has the transmission, tube, pen cartridge, and some other pieces. I usually pour my own acrilic blanks, and cut my own wood blanks.
Mostly i just turn down wood or acrylics into the exterior handle piece of the pen. Its pretty cathartic because you end up with a product that reflects your effort and each one will be completely unique.
what's the transmission on a pen?
Maybe the clicky bit?
