    Ok, so I was on Penwish the other day browsing pens and stuff. Then my dad comes in gives my shopping cart a look like : " dry.gif Rly? WTF man their pens! Your going to spend $15 on some pens then take them apart just to make 2 pens!!!" He didn't really say that but I'm pretty sure that's what he was thinking. (BTW, the pens i'm going to order are the parts to make a Buster and and a Metal Comssa) How can I convince my dad that penspinning isn't a waste of money?

    it is a waste of money lol, but all hobbies are

    it's something you do for fun, if you earn your money it's your prerogative what you spend it on

    As any con artist knows, let him feel as though he has won. Also, think of it as war, you distract your enemy with a false front and attack from behind.
    Go start doing recreational drugs or something and pens will be the least of your dads worries.

    personally, I wouldn't get the buster, especially at your level, but it's still your choice.
    I was very lucky with PS, my parents are very supportive of my hobbies.
    I would ask about it, some points you could argue is that you would pay with it with your own money, and the person who runs the site is very trustworthy, having delivered to 1000+ people, and is easy to talk to.

    Does he smoke? Tell him that this cigarettes are just sticks of poison that he lights up and that are gone within minutes.
    Does he drink? Tell him that pays for poison to enter his body and influence his brain which has little positive effect.

    You gots to turn the stick around man.

    Tell him that your hobby is harmless, relatively cheap compared to other hobbies and safe.
