random Pro tip DIY Titanium pen for about 5 bux

[billygoat]

Buy a 5 dollar or so pin vise and a single titanium spoke.( if your hardcore like me get it free used at your local bike shop)Nip off 1/4 inch chunk insert in pin vise... Sharpen if you feel the need. Viola!!!

titanium spokes arent pure titanium, but i have no idea if regular pens are alloys or not.

^^^^Do you know anyone who works at a crematorium? They've probably got a box of pieces that didn't get incinerated. A little morbid maybe, but tools with a story are my favorite tools.

I've got a nice ti screw in my ankle that shouldn't be too hard to remove. I'd totally do it if I knew what type of head was on the sucker.

yep the crematorium usually has a cheap casket and they just throw the parts in there and bury it.

I don't think they are allowed to give it away or scrap it, Its a law or ethics issue.

I have worked in several local funeral home slash crematoriums,

I have some story's

With a dremel and a cutting disc, any type can be made into a flat head screw.

Elephant man or small boat?

10 inches baby...10 inch scars that is, on both legs 4 Ti screws in each knee and i haven't even added in the 3 in one ankle and the 4 in the other ankle. So as far as amount of hardware i would say Elephant man.
