    I store them in unusual places, thinking I'll use them again in the future, but end up throwing them away after a few weeks.

    the day i throw away my leftover parts is the day someone comes up with a kick ass mod using all the leftover parts that i have. so i keep them in a big ass shoe box

    I keep them around and see if I can come up with any mods that use them.

    Why aren't there any (as far as i can tell) mods that use all the parts?

    keep them in a box until I decide that it's too much and throw them away.

    you know sfsr, theres a grip there

    i keep mine in a box, i sometimes mod them
    not that they are any good mods, but it adds to my collection, frees up some space, keeps me busy during the time i mod, and what else am i going to do with them???

    once i'm bothered, i'll post up some pictures of the mods i've made with random parts
    basically involves pens being shoved together, wrapped in tape, and hopefully spinnable
    oh, and most of it has large amounts of blu tac to weight it XD

    EDIT: i'm finally bored enough to post the pics

    What do you guys use american dr. grip shaker mp grips for? (since they're so short, I wasnt sure huh.gif )
    I see them on metallic comssas sometimes, but do you use 2 of those grips total for both sides?


    Spoiler:

    sry.. i didnt know if this goes in this topic XD
    technically, its a 'left over' part after you use the tips. smile.gif

    Theyre almost the same size as regular jap shaker grips.
    slice it in half, use on watever you want.
    and that question would belong in Quick Modification Questions... just for next time wink.gif

    and all my leftovers go in the garbage...after i had 300+ beifa bodies, 200+ sailor bodies, 100+ Hgg bodies, and all the inks it just got ridiculous.

    I throw them all in a box...one day i may pull them out, examine them, take them apart, take off the grip (if i haven't already) and experiment.

    If i can't use them, they get thrown in the box again. Once i get a refill for my zippo i think i may start burning all my leftover pen parts. I'm such a pyro tongue.gif

    hmm lets see what we've got so far...

    1. storing in weird places.
    2. storing in a box
    3. trashing (seemingly) unusable stuff

    Im putting a 10 down that the trash can of pens isn't really trash just pens he bought, put a bunch of crumpled paper in the bin and covered the top. but i keep grips and tips in a box and whole modding pens (like my rsvps) in a cup

  29. Shimo
    Date: Sun, May 3 2009 17:39:37

    lol, i usually keep the leftover parts in a drawer in case i can still use them, but for stuff that i will never use (e.g broken barrels) i burn them XD

    Date: Mon, May 4 2009 02:05:13

    I put all my grips and tips and useful caps and stuff in an organizer, take the inktubes and put them in a huge shoebox, then take the bodies and put them in a bin. I like to stay organized.
    I just counted, I have 133 unused ink tubes XD

    I have a lot of spare parts, but considering I make a ton of things beside pen mods, I find uses for most things, so I often keep them on hand incase I find a use

    I have a shelf on my bookshelf dedicated to pens, so I have everything there, both junk and spare parts. Haven't been modding/spinning for very long, so there's still a lot of room. I'll have to wait and see where I keep them if I get really into it.

    I keep them in a small box and save them for later if i need them.
