My first modified slims and a couple of others

[jkeith]

Thought I would give a modified slimline a go. Made a couple out of some of the cheap acrylic blanks from the Woodcraft shorty pile (one for the Aggie fans). I need to try a segmented band next.

Also tried a Slimline Pro with no band. Not sure I like it with the band gone, but the wife wanted it... she's happy, I will call that a win.

Last one is a request from a co-worker, Classic Elite II with the Molten Metal inlace.

Awesome group of pens.

Very nice. I also like the no band slimline. I never thought of that. Thanks. So it turns at the nib?

Sorry. I see it's a pro.

Yeah this one was a pro but you can make a one piece slimline. It turns at the nib. There are some instructions in the library for it.

I made a lot of bandless slimlines when I was first starting. None looked as good as yours. I have also learned to turn bands as well. Makes em interesting and expands what you can do with an inexpensive kit.

Excellent group of pens. And, the molten metal blank is a great look for the fountain pen kit.

Great looking batch of pens!

They are all really nice, but that last one is just fantastic. The kit is perfect for that blank.

Thanks for the comment! I didn't post all the ones I screwed up... haha! I'm going to try a band on the next batch of these I do. Looks like a lot of fun. Biggest issue I have right now is no table saw, or even a band saw. Doing everything by hand. Currently looking for something so I can start to segment.

And thanks to all for the kind words
