Another slimline (sort of)

[its_virgil]

Here is an adaptation ot the "signature pen" in an article by
Angleo Iafrates. The article uses parts from a slimline and a euro but mine is from one slimline kit. Jay Pickens showed me his rendition and challenged me to make mine. I used Jay's article from the home page to counter sink the clip and finial. The resin on the ends came from Cave Creek Castings...Thanks Anthony! Comments welcome.

Well done!

Ok, I give up. With such a short lower section, how is the transmission seated?

 

[JimGo]

Yeah Don, where's the transmission??? This is a neat design!

Very nice design on the pen Don. Came out really well.
I'm loosing it, can't even remember sending you any resin.
You weren't snooping around my shop, were you []
I would like to see a pic of how the clip looks counter sunk.
I have never seen this kit (in person) or made one of those.

 

[DCBluesman]

Too cool, Don! I just "knew" there was something going on behind the scenes!

 

[JimGo]

Dang, can't believe I didn't think of that! Yes, very classy Don! Thanks for sharing!

Anthony,
You added the resin blanks with the Jr. Statesman bulk order you orgainzed a couple of months back. I've been waiting to do something special with it. The kit is just a slimline kit with a little customization. Look at the article on the IAP home page entiltled "Finial Options" by Jay Pickens....scroll dowm and on the right. I can post a closeup picture of the clip end if you still want to see it. I can do that tomorrow.

What a great idea, Don! Those slimline kits are amazingly versatile.

 

[driften]

Very nice! I have been wanting to do one of those. Was it hard getting the tubes glued in with the section where the tube is short or where the tube is long?

 

[WoodChucker]

Don, great looking pen, really like the color combo!

 

[jvsank]

[jdavis]

Don, I tried the link to Jay's instructions on clips, it does not open.
Also, who made the singnature pen, I could not find it. Does it come as a 7mm twist pen?

 

[pastorbill1952]

Good looking pen and a great idea. Great craftsmanship in the fit.

Anthony,
I'll email you Jay's article and the snake skin info later this evening. The signature pen was made by Angelo Iafrates and used parts from two pen kits. He wrote an anrticle that was published in one of the mags. I can send you the article if you wish. Email me so I will have your address and can send you the attachments. The pen I made is on a slimline chasis. Look for an email later this evening.
Do a good turn daily!

I really like that style. I keep wondering if it is worth my time to try it?
