Big thank you for your wonderful and supportive comments!! I am pleased to hear that you guys would love to buy this, but I’m not sure if this one is for sale because I’m not sure if I can make many. Again, I truly appreciate all of the requests! Mechanical Drawings & Tools I Use - www.maker-b.com

Is this to stop automatic users from writing?

When teacher tell you to write faster but you already on 5th gear....

As a car guy, I approve. This is the perfect gift for any car guy that can write

The precision of those machines is very, very satisfying to watch lol. Glad I clicked!

I would pay an embarrasing amount of money for one of these

The eraser for reverse is beautiful.

Finally a manual transmission I don't have to worry about blowing the clutch out of.

Eraser connected to reverse is what makes this amazing build even better

never thought I'd need a manual transmission pen in my life but here I am

car enthusiasts would love it, art lovers would value it, a writer would treasure it and anyone owning it would brag about it and I can't tell you how cool it looks, I mean a copper and steel manual transmission pen.?? Sold.!!

No talking. No 15 minute filler intro. No godawful TikTok music. Just good old fashioned quality content.

If we had these in our school days all you'd hear in class would be click, click, click, with those lucky enough to own one making car noises. And our metal shop teachers would of been in ore by your masterful lathe work & engineering skills on such a unique work of art !!

Insane skills in everything Design Machining Polishing Sound Cinematography Editing Beautiful work of art and video to show to the world Im truly in awe

My 18 month old son and I were hooked from beginning to end. Very cool 👍

Eraser for reverse is smart, I like it. Idea: each gear gets a larger size (0.5mm for first, 0.7mm for second, 1mm for 3rd) to represent denser burnout tracks with more ink.

The multi-ink pens we had back in the day were no where close as nice as this. Good job.

I love that reverse is an eraser clever little touch there

This isn't just engineering, this thing is pure art

this genuinely is one of the coolest things i've ever seen, the machining, putting an eraser as the reverse etc. bravo man this was so sick

Let’s give some props to the video production here. It was as good as the machine work! If I had one of these back in Jr. H.S., when multicolour pens were the rage, my simulated V8 noises would have drowned out the clicking of the shift mechanism followed by me being kicked out of class.

The wonderful thing is the precision of manufacture and experience. The product is beautiful, I consider it a masterpiece. Thank you.

Putting aside the metalwork (which is absolutely sublime), can I also just marvel at the creativity to think of this, and the ingenuity to come up with the design itself? This is amazing, and please let us know if you ever decide to make it available for sale!

Ugh, you use an automatic pen?

I was expecting a single color pen with a clever gear-shift like mechanism, and I got a 6 "color" full on gear box pen ! The machining is incredible, I would be stressing out having to manually machine brass that thin.

There’s just something so satisfying watching the metal be worked down with these machines, it’s boring but I also can’t stop watching at the same time

Possibly the greatest UKposts recommendation all month

That looks horrifically unwieldy and wildly impractical, I love it

Couple years ago someone asked me to make 0.5 thread on m5 bolt and i was like nope ,there is no way for me to make it,i cant even see it let alone sharpen a knife for it on a bench grinder.Your work is amazing you do precise things on a small lathe -i guess size sometimes really matters and bigger isn't always the best !

Just. Yes. THIS, as a product, NEEDS to be a Kickstarter!

In Australia we call an eraser a rubber. So the 'R' for rubber is perfect. Fantastic project! Would love to own one.

“this generation can’t even write with a stick shift”

Finally, a writing utensil worthy of challenging the American space pen

Since no one else is brave enough to say it, I will. Your pen is huge

What an imaginations to think of such a thing, and being able to design it and have it work is impressive as hell.

Watching all those custom parts, fit together so perfectly, so satisfying. Beautiful work.

This was the most satisfying build video I've ever seen on UKposts.

i Just entered a Mechanical Engineering Course in my Tertiary institution and we are on the topic of Laives, its so cool to see it in action!

Enjoy seeing others skills and engineering. My days are over, but seeing others create brings me joy.

I was watching this and thinking of how cool it would be if this was a throwback to the old color-selector pens with each gear being a color, and then sure enough. This was thought out well in advance lol. Amazing.

もう発想が天才

I had absolutely no idea where this was going or how it would work. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time

I NEED IT! I NEED IT! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THIS IN MY LIFE

Can you legally drive this pen?.

It is amazing what one talented person can create with a metal turning machine ! Impressive ! Thank you ! I wished, I had the opportunity to start a craftmanship like this.

This actually makes me understand how manual works better

This is ridiculous…I’ll take two, please

Imagine trying to write with the blue pen but you accidentally shift to the purple pen instead

First time ever saying this on a video : THANK YOU for this beautiful video, I was amazed from start to finish

This is like the manly version of the book fair multi-colored pens from my childhood. It also looks like an incredibly satisfying mechanism to operate

This is absurd, when I started watching I thought it would be a gimmick then saw the clutch and imagined it would be a clever mechanism to switch the gears but you're telling me it ACTUALLY works as a way to change colors? Are you f-ing kidding me? Mind blown.

Agreed. That shifter pen is really cool.

I watched this almost exclusively to see exactly what a transmission would do in a pen. Was not disappointed.

This is a video i never asked for but always wanted!

Amazing craftsmanship. Makes me realize how much more I can learn with machining.

that's really stylish. I had a crappy plastic pen like that, can't believe how cool it can look when there's some thought put into it!

Got to say, the gearbox works amazing for a pen. Also great job!

If I've got this as a gift I would cry out of joy..

This is the manliest writing instrument ever! I'm not crying, you are!

This is gold. It was so funny watching someone make a PEN & occasionally seeing "adding the shifter" or "making the clutch"😂😂😂 Legendary!!

As someone who doesn’t know how to drive manual, I’m baffled. But as an amateur machinist, I’m in awe. Either way, it’s amazing and I want it.

You know what, you're right. This is the only thing I've ever wanted or needed, I just didn't know it yet.

最高です！！ Rが消しゴムなのセンスありすぎます

This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen on youtube

That's some CLUTCH piece of work!

I have no idea what's going on but I'm mesmerized I never expected machining to be so quiet

Perfect idea, perfect execution, perfect eraser reveal at the end. New sub!

What a nice job achieved, a real piece of art

Can confirm, one can never have enough erasers, love this pen mate!

I LOVE IT! It's been a minute since I've clicked on a video and not have to hear what i just saw in the thumbnail and just get into it!

You're an insane machinist and I love your work. I have the Sherline machinist book and your work is in par with the show-off projects in that book. Well done.

Absolutely wonderful! And so creative😢. This one deserves to be sold for at least $5000. This is a work of intelligence, originality, art and amazing engineering. You're a genius, man!

That's the coolest pen I've ever seen done DIY. Respect brother :)

this reminds me of that one time i got to meet a clock mechanic that owns a screwdriver with a small gearbox built in it, and he realy loves braging about it. good stuff

What a clever dude you are. I watched the entire video including the commercials, lol.

Please sell these

eraser on reverse is a real big brain move 👌👌

I had to watch the whole video to figure out how would the gear shifting make sense.. my dumb mind for the large majority of the video pictured it as something similar to a tatoo ink needle, but switching gears to change the color of the ink is such a cool concept my inner 8 to 12 years old would have gone ballistic on my mom wanting to get one like that! Don't get me wrong, I think it's super cool and I would LOVE to have one like that! I just won't go ballistic on my mom in order to get it, I will just try to find someone who works metal or find something similar online myself! Thank you for the video! it was very entertaining and really cool to see!!

the perfect pen for me!!,,i would buy this..beautiful!

Absolutely amazing well done!!!

I needed to see the R in use so badly by the end, THANKS for that outro, 10/10 design and amazing video

this is the best multifuncional pen i ever seen

The best part about this pen is that no one under the age of 50 can steal it. They have only ever operated automatic pens, meaning they won't know how to walk away with it. A perfect gift for that one old person in your life.

Teacher : well why aren't you taking notes ? Are you too smart for this ? "No, my pen just jammed"

Looks beautiful! A work of art.

Thanks for demonstrating the eraser too, I was really curious!

👇people who thinks he should start and etsy store

Very clever. Great workmanship and skills.

this is unnecessarily brilliant

I was completely confused until he started assembling it. This is a fantastically creative art piece. Bravo sir. You should send the to Adam Savage. He would love it

Got a bunch of drifting buddies I would IMMEDIATELY gift this too if it were a sellable product. The craftmanship, the shifting, the ERASER ON REVERSE, like....it's beautiful

Eu estava ansioso pra ver seus vídeos 😮😅 💚🇧🇷

A true masterpiece and even more satisfactory...keep at it

Eraser connected with R gear is pure genius

Designer and kraftman in one person - nice to see someone that know his skills and use it

This is one of the most amazing creations I’ve ever seen. I’m sure you’re an engineer or something by trade, but I’m astonished at how you come up with the things you create. The engines, the lock, this pen. You are a true artisan my friend. Can’t wait for your next creation!

I genuinely need this

Finally, a pen that can optimize my RPMs with my writing speed.

Sell that pen in your store & I'm sure we'd buy it.
