    Thanks for the link, Sharptonn!

    CA, huh? No wonder Andrew hasn't done another similar project since the one linked from 2014.

    MikeB52 ...
    ... Please do not try this with the beautiful pens you make... I don't know if it will "turn" out the same... the risk is simply too great!
    If you need someone to talk you out of such madness, I'm always here.

    Don't let Tom goad you into doing it, as you know he IS quite the provocateur!

    This idea is gaining momentum in my mind!

    Someone buy this man a shave, a beer, and fair company for the night!

    Twas a fun little project, and I still have the handle here somewhere I think. My handle didn't look quite as good as the one in the original post. Casting them in epoxy would definitely work out better. The CA was finicky, and I glued myself to myself many times. Haha,

    Definitely finicky! And without a respirator and goggles it seems like pretty nasty stuff to breath, stings the eyes too. Sticks like the commercials! lol

    But then I see another gorgeous example of CA finish and realize why I like it.

    There's a reason for the name "Hot stuff" on this certain brand. Use it long enough you'll find out it burns your eyes, it burns your lungs, and really burns your fingers!!
