Busy day for me. Completed these 12 pens. Getting ready for a show that starts this weekend. More pens tomorrow....

Hope you like them! I love the look of the engraved pens! Hopefully they are a big hit in our military community!

Comments welcome! That's how we get better....

Thanks for looking

Very nice! The ones I ordered are going to a friend and his son in law who were in the army / navy. I can't wait till the rest of the materials arrive is I can complete them.

Keith, Yes I do. I polish up a new unused casing and then engrave it. Let me know if you need any. :biggrin:

If I may ask, do you use a laser or are they done some other way?

Mannie,

Not cut with a laser. My understanding is most lasers (that are affordable) cannot engrave metal. These are actual mechanical engravings with the use of a bit. They are cut on my CNC machine....

Hey Fred,

What are the cap andclip you use for yours?

 

[kruzzer]

Stunning, great job

 

[PTownSubbie]

Hey Fred,

What are the cap andclip you use for yours?

The top (finial) section is from a Euro/Designer kit. You can buy parts at Wood-N-Whimsies. All you need is the Euro Clip/Euro pen cap/Euro cap screw.

The Euro top looks so much better than a slimline top, IMO. There is less taper and you can easily change the clip if the buyer wants to customize it further.

Are those on your website?
And are they clear powder coated?
And I'm assuming a CNC router with a rotational 4th axis?

Nice work!!

They are on my website but are not powder coated. They are left raw so they can patina or you can keep them shiny by using brasso every once in a while.

I have created a new website (PTownSubbie aka Fred Wissen pen blanks and silicone molds - Portsmouth, Virginia).
