A five picture pen making clinic,BEAUTIFUL!!!
Mark
Thanks Mark. Clinic? :biggrin: First time I heard that one.:biggrin:
Nice job Chuck! that aluminum ring and stepped finial add a great design element to the pen. Really nice pen.
Thank you Mike. That ring was laying on the bench from a previous build, and just a few thousandths larger in diameter, so I stuck it on there when I started sanding. Worked out pretty well, I think.
Thanks Dave!
I really like the looks of the mosaic material. Nice work!
Thank you. I've been waiting to turn this material for months. Love it!
Very cool! I really like the clip. I haven't seen that one before.
Thank you. I picked up a few of these clips, but don't remember where.
LOVE IT, Chuck! Especially the step ring, clip and Finial.
And, man, I thought I was an old timer here! A Heritance Semi-flex? Got any more
Thank you Andy! It's the last one.:frown:
nice looking pen. is the silver a segment or drill out like a washer?
Thank you. The ring is aluminum, drilled out and parted off.
Any chance of a short video with the nib going through a 'flex'?
Was wondering, do you make these blanks? And do you find it any harder to tap/thread this material segmented like so?
It is a very pleasing to the eye kind of pen! And someone will be very pleased when it arrives at their home!!!
Scott (more 'tuit' list then time) B
Thanks Scott. No chance of a video, but these nibs have a good reputation. The blanks were from Indy-Pen-Dance. I think Ernie at Beartoothwoods has some, and maybe Exoticblanks. The stuff is beautiful to tap and cut threads on. The threads on the lower finial have a very thin wall, and held up very nicely. I think it's a lot like Lucite. It may even BE Lucite.
Chuck,
Another great looking pen. I agree with what Mike said. Love the finial ring. It makes the pen even nicer looking. How does the mosaic material compare to the other acrylics you have turned. It's on my 'to turn' list, but I do have to prioritize these days.
Thank you Cris. Read my reply to Scotts post above. This stuff is really nice. Turn it when you get a chance.
