Hot out of the forge

[Artisan iron designs]

Here is one of the pens I finished this week. The artdeco, thank goodness the tubes are so large, this allowed me to remove a lot of the weight otherwise it would weigh a ton. I had to start with a 7/8" Damascus billet. Hope you like it ...I do.

Very cool pen, love the Damascus. Do you make your own?

Very nice! I like it. Just wondering, is it possible to make a convex shape (bulge) on the metal lathe or just flat?

You sure can, just have to be good with the handles on the compound slide and feed. or have a hydraulic tracing attachment and make your own profile

That is a pretty pen! The black and silver (black and steel?) keeps the Damascus from overwhelming the art nouveau style of the pen.

I really enjoy seeing your pens!

It's possible to make a convex shape, but it isn't easy. One can do it with files and or sanding. Or, you can modify the lathe to trace a pattern that will allow cutting curved surfaces. The items below were cut on a manual metal lathe using a tracing modification in acrylic and aluminum.



Another BEAUTIFUL Damascus pen Vincent!

Thank you for sharing.

Very nice finished product, and great prep work making the Damascus rod. No doubt about it, Damascus Steel yields a special pen. You have excelled!
