About time I showed some pens!

[david44]

Now that I have felt inspired by the wonderful work I see on IAP I have decided that ought to put some of my inferior items on display. All of these are standard 7mm slimlines with various platings and modifications produced over recent years. Any comments and criticisms will be gratefully received! Thanks in advance, David.

(I hope that my attempt at adding photos has worked!)

Wow. Incredible treatments of Slimlines. Thanks for sharing.

Hi David, some nice variations there! have you started using the new lathe yet?

Eric...

Very nice. I love the work you are doing with the slimlines. It makes them look like completely different pens. Great job...

 

[paintspill]

what the heck took ya so long. nice work there

 

[Rangertrek]

You have done some nice pens there and good variations on the slim format.

Great group of pens.

 

[Bob Wemm]

Love the Modifications, Thanks for sharing.

Bob.

 

[pesto126]

as others have said... very nice work! Would love to know how you made the modifications?

 

[USNGSCS]

Not inferior at all. I personally have moved on from slimlines, but your creativity with shapes and materials might make me reconsider. Nice work!

Some nice looking pens. Gives me some ideas for the Freedom Pens I am currently working on. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Eric. The midi Jet VS is very good. I am impressed by it and beginning to enjoy turning again!

Hello Pesto - if you message me direct I can expand at length on the modifications - which particular pen do you want to know about?


To everyone else, thanks for the nice remarks, they are so good for my ego!. The fan of pens dates back 4 or 5 years. I have made a lot of slimlines under various guises (and sold quite a few). Connecting to the IAP has revived my interest in pen making and I have plans for a few new variations. There is so much on this forum to inspire me.

Very nice - one reason I like slimlines is the great flexibility for creativity & imagination. I really like that candy cane pen in the center of the top photo.

Nice work!! Good pics too.:biggrin:

I never understand why some folk look down on the wonderful slimline.
It is no easier to make than any other pen. It is without doubt the most versatile kit around, it's available in any finish ever used on a kit and is also the most affordable kit on the market.
Look at the great works by Jay Pickens and Russ Fairfield.....:wink:

 

[Bobostro61]

Hmmm.... I fail to see ANYTHING inferior there. They all look great!

 

[BRobbins629]

Very nice. I too am a fan of the 7mm and all it can be made into.

 

[PR_Princess]

Very nice collection David. Glad that you decided to post and show them!

 

[OZturner]

A complete new presentation of Slimlines.

David,
Where have you been hiding.
Great treatment of the Old Favourite,
Not over the top, yet significantly different.
Excellent Fit and Finish.
I look forward to your next posting.
Congratulations,
Brian.
