my first acrylic pen!! (pics are fixed now!!)

[RonInSpringTX]

ok, dudes & dudettes, here's my first acrylic. Why didn't anyone tell me it was this easy?? geeez!! I hope you like as much as I enjoyed turning/finishing it. My wife said "WOW" ...UGH, guess she has a new pen added to her arsenal She's cutting into my profit damit!! (1 outta 5 pens is hers??? BS!!![:0] ) Well, lemme know what ya think, I would've liked a silver/satin or even rhodium hardware on it, but, alas, I didn't have any. After seeing this, she said go buy some!! lol[}]hmm, she thinks that's all I'll buy?? hehehe.
later y'all

Hope the pics are okay, will be back later, (she told me to order some of the satin/rhodium kits for whatever... woohoo
I still wanna post pics of my shop, is there a thread? or should I start a new one???
later & thanx

No pictures!

Check the file names, apparently spaces and unusual characters cause the most problems.

 

[RonInSpringTX]

[RonInSpringTX]

Ron when you get where you can post pics there is a thread in the shops, jigs, fixtures, and tools forum with everyones shops. May be back a page or two.

While the pictures don't show up, I'm certain CAV will appreciate your proper use of the SOUTHERN PLURAL ... "All Y'all".... [] nicely done!

Take the spaces out of the file name and upload again. the %20 s in the file name are spaces to the server.

the x's in the boxes are nicely centered!

 

[GoodTurns]

I like the red!

 

[ed4copies]

YOU have underscores (____)in your file names.

Forum software will not allow that!!! Or any other "special characters".

 

[Palmetto_Dave]

Now ya'll have me all excite to see these pens, and I can't! That's SO wrong!

It's the ampersands in the filenames which are the problem.

[Buzz]

Well done Ron, worth the wait Nice looking pen.

 

[RonInSpringTX]

and yes, the taper near the tip was on purpose!!!

I would agree on using a different kit color with that blank. Other than that, it looks great. I'm having fun with acrylics as well.

 

[johncrane]

Up and showing very nice.[]

 

[sparhawk]

Looks good! Fit and finish look great.

Hey Ron---Looking good, big improvement with the photo setup and result as well. That kit really works well with acrylics.

Worth the wait indeed! Great work![]

 

[RonInSpringTX]

thanks for all the comments (once the pics got fixed, duh on my part, should've known better than to add an & to the pic title!![])
anyways, gotta finish another cigar pencil (longan wood from Chris/Hawaii on here) for my wife's boss (female, think she didn't want Brenda, my wife to have a better pencil than hers!!!) If you saw my previous shot of my wife's pencil, in the cigar style, what would y'all charge for such a piece. It's a $14 kit from PSI, wasn't that difficult to turn (on my wife's anyway!) or finish. I told her to tell her boss $45.... is that about right, just curious. thanx for the input y'all.
later, Ronnie

Very nice and I agree it was worth the wait![^]
