First time casting

[mlconnelly]

Jonathon (Brooks803) also helped me begin the casting journey. This pen represents my first shot. I can see how casting can become addictive just like turning because your are never sure exactly what you are going to get. It was fun and I can't wait to do more. I thought it only appropriate that my first casting go on the first style pen that I ever made, a plain gold slimline. I think this blank dresses it up pretty nicely. Thanks for any comments.

Ah, another padiwan for Jedi Master Caster Brooks.

That's a good job. Now if I remember my Caster training, Jonathon would say something like this:

Do that again you must. (only in a yoda voice):biggrin:

Dude, if that is your first casting, I can't wait to see your castings in the future!

Sharp looking pen and great cokor choice.
Keep going......looking forward to seeing more.

Great start, the casting and pen look great.

Very cool! Did we write down the recipe for that blank? I'm glad you had fun. I know I did! Now you have to try and remake that blank once you get your casting supplies!

 

[mlconnelly]

I will check my notes on the recipe. If not I think I might recognize the names of the dyes.

Amazing job on that first casting! That slimline looks great with that blank!
