Congratulations to Brandon! Just a reminder also, if you love the pens you make but don't want to make more, you can always just replace the old ink tubes with new ones.

Love that t-shirt Valerie! And thanks for another great video. Love you!

Love the t-shirt! That list is basically my life's motto. Cool pen too.

Thank you so much for that tip with the elastic bands around the pliers! Why didn't I think of that? That's ingenious. Love the pens, can't wait to try it !

cant wait! thanks for the tip & enjoy your holiday!(take care & be safe

Love your Channel!💕

Well done and congrats to Brandon :D This has just come at the right time as i was going to experiment with pens thank you for sharing x

I use the Bic eagle pens also , thank you for sharing !

Very helpful! Congratulations to Brandon!

Thank you for excellant tutorial! Congratulations to Brandon and the great mom who helped him. XO❤XO💘XO❤XO

Well done Brandon. Congrats to the proud mum! An interesting addition to the pliers, those elastic bands! I have some nylon jawed pliers, mainly for straightening wires without marking them when making jewellery. I have found them to be a good investment. If you do any wire work at all when putting jewellery together, I would recommend that you get some. Thanks for telling us which pen you have been successful with. I had planned to cover some as gifts for Christmas (and probably some for charity sales making a change from greetings cards), but expected lots of failures before finding a goodie. Now I know!

Gratz on graduation! I loved the son does my voice over! Thanks for the easy pen idea! Kool shirt!

Very informative. Can't wait to see you make one.....they look so pretty

Great tips, thanks

Great tutorial! I know many people ask about the pens so this will clear up a lot of those questions. Congrats to Brandon as well! That's a long, hard job well done!

Congratulations Brandon !

Congratulations to Brandon and great tutorial Valerie:-)

Congratulations to your son! TFS Nice looking pen.

Excellent Video and Ideas, that I will be trying :-)

Neat video! I use the solid white ones and never had an issue with them either. I guess if in doubt just try one and see if it works okay. :) - Heidi

Congrats! My oldest just graduated from Bachelor of Science in Nursing in May, and she got married 3 weeks later! I'm a tired Mom!! Thanks for sharing this video! I have never sanded my pens. That might help me be more successful!! I've always fought with my silicone pliers, but they slip and don't grab that plastic very well either. Your tips are fantastic!!

Congratulations, Brandon! My "to do" list is exactly the same as yours...(love the T shirt!);)

Congrats to your son. Thanks for the tips

Congratulations xx

Great video and congratulations to Brandon!

Congratulations Mom! Great job raising Brandon.

Thank you, what a helpful tutorial. You covered aspects that I hadn't even thought about. What do such pens sell for in the UK? I have put polymer handles on crochet hooks, but the market where I live is 3 for $10 and that is very little profit even if I don't count my time.

Congrats to Brandon--when should we expect the first game? Val, I have two quick questions, when you have time. First, how many times can you put your project back into the oven without ruining it? And, how is your mother doing without her little buddy? I think of her because I know how hard it can be.

Awesome

Congratulations to Brandon on a job well done!!! Hopefully there's a good need for game designers. Video games seem to be the rage these days. But, considering I haven't played a video game since Atari came out in the 70's or 80's, I'm not really up the current video game culture.

Yay for Brandon! And to proud Mum too 😀 Thanks for the hints on claying pens of course, but... woohoo Brandon!

Woohoo Brandon! 🤓🎉🍻
