|  Antler Tip Key Rings Don't discard those antler tips when cutting blanks for pens. I hate to think of how many times I discarded a bunch before someone (can't remember name due to senior moment) on WWF showed key rings made with them. I finally got time to try a few this afternoon. Should make a nice combination gift set and combination gifts mean combination $ $ $ 's for turners.  Shown here is a hunters special with 30.06 cartridge and deer antler pen with deer antler key ring.  |

| That really is nifty Bill! I save them all too, but when I ended up with a whole little box of about 5lbs of them, I went and sold them on ebay for $20. DOH!!! So..where'd you buy your key hardware?

| Jeff; I use kits similar as shown here except these are PSI kits. Penn State Kit But they also have identical looking kits for just $1.29 each and are quite satisfactory for this application. I just use part of the kit. Don't need the brass tube and end pice . Those pieces will probably come in handy for something else some time. The 7mm tubes are just a tiny bit longer than slimline pen tubes so a touch on the disc sander brings them right on. Nice to have spares. At $1.29 for kits and a very quick and easy product to make, the selling price of $8.00 each adds up to a nice profit margin. It's little things like this that pay for the price of craft sale tables shortly after the opening time of the sale. W.Y. Last edited by William Young : 12-01-2008 at 04:53 AM. |

 | I made my deer pens with the tip on the top part. Is a great way for hunters too remember. It was hard trying to find the right area to drill but once I did, it all worked. Was a little longer than most pens but it sure makes conversation. Nice job on the key chains.

| That looks very nice and I can see how it could easily be done with an ordinary slim line kit . Not suitable for a pocket pen but would make a real nice desk pen. That kind would look nice displayed in a holder something like this one I made for a fella that bought half a dozen pens from me and requested a desk stand for them. W.Y.  |
