Can't believe how far this has come. I was doing this 8+ years ago when we had to make our own pens. I remember Korea had the best parts. Had to import 3 different pens, take them all apart and make a well balanced pen. Ironically they were not able to write anymore. I'm right handed and spun with my right hand. One day I wanted to use my computer mouse and spin at the same time, so I learned to spin with my left hand instead.

Wow that’s a lot of pens to sell. I give him credit that’s certainly a niche market but he seems to have cornered it. I couldn’t even do one trick so massive props to him spinning like that. I’m glad he managed to get into remission too.

communities like these are formed by respectful and awesome people! Personally I have found spinning very fun and calming also learning new tricks are very satisfying. Huge respect for Mr. Nope as he has been able to push through hard times and become successful by sharing his hobby with other people
