Cebloplast Kitless with a Clip

[wizard]

Haven't had as much time in the shop or on the site. But I did make this over a period of several A.M.'s. It's a orange, blue and black cebloplast fountain pen with a small Heritance nib. This is was my first attempt at a clip and my third kitless. The clip and most importantly the instruction came from my Sensei, the Resident Time Bandit.:biggrin:. I didn't want to drill a slit in the cap of the pen so the finial is a screw in where the clip can be removed and replaced if need be. Please pardon the quality and dust on the pictures. I'm in the process of setting up a new light box. I know the nib is disproportionately small when compared to the size and length of the pen. I ordered some nibs from Roy yesterday and gratefully look forward to using some of the 6 mm Bock nibs soon.:biggrin:. Thanks Roy!! Anyway, I think I looks nice for my first clip on a kitless. Comments welcome but most of all thanks for just looking. Doc

Very nice pen Doc, your Sensei seems to be doing a very fine job of passing along his vast knowledge. Very well done.

Very good Grasshopper.
Doc, the pen is beautiful!! I don't know where you guys are finding the Cebloplast, but I sure like seeing what you and Justin are doing with it. Keep up the exquisite work!!

Doc, your mornings have been well spent. Either Justin is on heck of a teacher or your one heck of a student, I have a feeling it's both of you. Your nibs went out yesterday.

Beautiful work Doc! You need to spend more mornings in the shop!

Great pen, awesome job on the clip. The little bit of purple in the blanks really sets it off.

That came out really nice Doc.

Looks like you got the hang of it ........

Excellent work, Doc. The section above the clip may be a bit long for my taste, but hey, you made the pen, not me. Personal preference is not debatable. And I agree, it needs the bigger nib. Maybe we can see it again when those Bocks arrive.
Do a good turn daily!

Beautiful work doc. I couldn't even tell the finial was a separate piece from the cap. You have once again peaked my interest in this kitless pens. Thanks for the inspiration.

Looks real good Doc, Is Justin giving classes on kitless pen making? You have learned well from him.

Pretty. What is Cebloplast? Sounds like a cross between a young men's organization and a medical procedure.

Nice one Doc - you've come a long way.

Great stuff, Doc! I always enjoy seeing your new efforts. I have 1 stick of Ceboplast left and I am saving it for ME. your post makes me want to go pull out the stick and "pet" it.

Nicely done.

Doc,

We mortals come in all shapes and sizes some by choice dress up or down or cleverly disguise themselves with hair, without hair, makeup, colour etc.

Now here is your pen, dressed and undressed, all is revealed and us mere mortals with all our inhibitions and predudices are invited by you to view this Slim Pen in a land of Big is Best.

No jewelry (horror) you mean its really a functional Pen. Small Nib (really).
Down to proportion or Ostentation. Give me proportion every time kiss excess Jewelry goodbye
as you have, keep the right sized nib. Be proud.

One showing this one of yours convinced me of what pens are all about, usefullness, heck take a punt and write to someone.

Colour is Daring, mechanically innovative love the clip method.

Like the stars of the universe when they come together rarely so does your pen come together. Simply beautiful.

Good onya mate as we would say.

Kind regards Peter.

Mark..LOL !!!! Neither organization nor medical procedure to best of my knowledge... Cebloplast is cellulose acetate. It is one of the first plastics or polymers used in pen making. It's a fairly rare material now. It was manufactured by a company called Mazzucchelli in Italy. Doc
