Dohickey

[theturningcircle]

Had some fun today with this Jn Gent in a new acrylic and one of YoYo's dohickey's. Easy to turn and finish and the colours compliment the blank well I think.:wink: Finish was down to 15000 MM and then buffed on the Beal system.

I agree that is a beauty! Great job

Where is the blank from? I am looking for something that color.

Very nice pen and combination of colors.

Thanks,

That is nice. I bought some of those doohickey's sometime back but haven't had a blank or pen kit to put one on. When I do I sure hope I can do as nuce of a job as you did.

The blank is from GPS agency in the UK. It's amongst a new range that hasn't been promoted much yet. I'm the guinee pig that tries all their new products for them.

Herbertjo, you can get a blank similar to that one from HUT called Acryligem Turquoise.

Lovely work Ian, don`t know if I will ever use those `dohickey`s` on my pens but it does look good with that blank!

It's very nice! I have some small idea having read something about "dohickey", but not entirely clear and with the photo I can't quite tell what I'm looking at other than a finial that appears to have been through his crazy lathe. There is something imbedded in it right? Keep in mind, the finial and picture are small..it's not you as to why I can't see it.

Try clicking on the photo. This will enlarge it!!!!!!!!!:wink:

Well yea, that's the first thing I did, and it did enlarge it, but I still can't quite tell what is inside that finial. It is very cool looking. Is it a flower?

Got it in one Jeff. The dohickey's are made by Ed Davidson (yoyospin) and sold through Arizona Silhouette. If you go on Ed's site you will see exactly how to attach and turn them.
