Hand Making a Pen Worth Passing Down

✍️ *Handmaking a Sodalite Crystal Pen Worth Passing Down Generations!*
Join me and my collab partner @PensandPenBlades on this wild DIY experiment: turning brittle sodalite (that stunning blue/orange/white gem) into a one-of-a-kind, hand-drilled heirloom pen. We brainstormed the design live on his channel—check it out below! From razor-sharp cuts to glue-fueled saves, this two-week saga is packed with epic fails (off-center drills = shattered stone) and triumphs. The result? A classy writer that's smooth, durable, and ready for your journal or desk legacy.

Full lapidary & pen-turning process (no fancy drill press—just Dremel grit!):
Sourcing & outlining the raw sodalite
Hand-cutting sections (hello, chipping challenges)
Drilling disasters & clever splices to fix breaks
Bonding with super glue + accelerator for rock-solid holds
Polishing to a slick shine & final assembly
Real-world writing test—does it glide or gripe?

Pro Tips: Foam padding saves from micro-shocks; always double-check alignment. Past pens flopped, but this one's a keeper!
