   REAL Rebar

    A fellow in AUS made a few of these, from scrap rebars that a road crew gave him.    Looks like either a #4, or #5 rebar.     He used a Slim line pen kit.      Drilled the holes on the lathe, no less.   Looks like a schedule 60 bar, also.   Yep, that's a real rebar.

   I wonder what happens when you try to go thru airport security with one of those in your pocket?  I love it.  And I thought my Rotrings had heft to them.  That pen would come over and kick sand in my pen's face.

   reinforcement

   What gauge steel is recommended for reinforcing one's pocket?  Or, is it best to use a steel pocket protector with a support harness?  ;-)

   pocket protectors?

   This might go into the same place I carried my pencils while working with rebar....my carpenter's belt pouch.      They had a couple "pockets" in the pouch to hold pencils.     Besides, 5-6" of #4 rebar doesn't weigh all that much.     Note: #4 rebar is about 1/2" in diameter.    Rebar is sold by the 1/8"......4 x 1/8 =  1/2.      I've work with some rebar that was #16!
