Using a pencil as a mold, wrap aluminum foil around the pencil tightly for uniform pen tip.

Applying Solder Into the Mold

Drip solder into the mold by melting it with a soldering iron .Dip the tip of the soldering iron in the mold to melt all the solder for a uniform pen tip. Leave the mold to cool then remove the aluminum foil.

Seal the Other End of the Pen

I push a ball of aluminum into the metal tube,leaving a small distance between the gap and the aluminum ball.I then drip molten solder at the end of the tube to seal it. Finally,any excessive solder is sanded away .

Applying the Pen Tip

I add hot glue to the other end of the metal tube before sticking the a portion of the tip into the metal tube .

Finally , I sand the surface of the pen and polish it for a glossy look .Now , you have a piece of art in your hand to write with !

Write!

How it works is that when you write, the pen leaves scratches of solder behind a clear metallic mark .Happy writing!
