Antique Copper & Brass Steampunk Bolt Action with 5/8" Genuine Rebar Body / #150

Description

**** GENUINE 5/8" REBAR ROD PEN BODY ****
This is a handmade Steampunk Bolt Action ballpoint pen made by Placid Crafts. Yes, this pen is made from a 5/8" Rebar Rod. The Hardware on this pen is Antique Copper and Antique Brass. This pen features the Victorian age Industrialized 19th century look. Some of the cool
features
of this pen is 24 small flat head screws, the
riveted
design pattern, the replica Gatling gun barrel, The hand lever pocket clip, The bullet NIB, and not to mention the Bolt Action ink
advance
mechanism. The pen is 5-7/8" long. I would consider this a larger than standard diameter pen because the pen body is 5/8" Rebar. The rebar pen body is very unique and not like the standard pen blanks that you buy, and the rebar
definitely
adds weight to the pen. This pen has the handcrafted antique look that is so popular.  /  Pen #150
This pen contains a Fisher #SPR4 Black Ink / Medium Point ballpoint refill. T
he standard Fisher “SPR Series” Refills were developed for NASA and have been used on EVERY Space Shuttle mission both American and Russian. They are hermetically sealed with a
specially formulated thixotropic ink
and pressurized to about 35 PSI. They are the only refills that will write at any angle because they do not rely on gravity.
ABOUT REBAR:
Rebar (short for
reinforcing bar), also known as reinforcing steel.  Common rebar is made of unfinished tempered
steel. Rebar is used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to strengthen and hold the concrete in compression.
The majority of rebar are deformed, as opposed to round. Rebar's surface is patterned to form a better bond with the concrete.
The ribs and depressions on its surface can increase the bond strength with concrete and prevent slippage. The pattern vary but usually there are two raised lines running the length of the bar 180˚apart with a spiral pattern between them. The deformed rebar is NOT ROUND. The diameter across the raised bars is larger than the diameter opposite the bars.
Rebar is tempered steel that is case hardened. The core is alloy steel but the closer to the outside the harder the steel gets. This makes drilling it a real problem. I use special hard drill bits manufactured from tungsten and molybdenum to increased hardness and with cobalt added to ensure superior heat resistanc
