Heat Wave

[maxman400]

Not only was it hot in the shop today (103) but this Baby is hot. This is the "Heat Wave" from Wood N Shop down under, it is on a chrome Jr Gent and it has been wet sanded to 1K then plastic polished. The customer requested that I change out the refill to the Pilot PRECISE V5 RT XFine It writes like a needle.
Any Comments welcome, Thanks for looking. :biggrin:

Nice blank Max, I looked at their stuff, it's pretty nice I guess if you buy enough the postage doesn't kill you, it made a good pen, how it their stuff to turn??

It turns pretty much like any other PR, I sharpened my skew at the start then honed it about 1/2 way through. The only issue I had with it was a couple of pin holes in it after sanding from pigment powder, a drop of CA and a little more sanding took care of it. I ordered ten blanks and shipping was $17.00 and they got here in about 5 days.

Max,
Pen looks great. Pen stand looks real cool. Where did you get that? Did you make it?

NO I found it at a yard sale, it is the bottom to a glass rocking horse.
And Thanks!
