Here is my first attempt at making and casting watch parts pen blanks, at least the first that I am willing to show. The casting material is Epoxy and at the time I had no pressure pot.
I have a pressure pot that I just finished, it has held a little under 50psi now for about 2 days without losing any pressure, it is now ready to go.
I did make a "regular" watch parts blank but I wanted to do something a little different. I used cartoon characters, mostly Disney and Warner Bros. I have several more in the works with some other characters but I will wait until I get hem done, don't want to ruin the suprise.
Suprizingly I had only one or two bubbles that I had to fill, I hope that gets better with a pressure pot.
Here is what I have:
Betty Boop done in Jr Gent, Gold
Bugs Bunny done in a Elegant Sierra, Gun Metal and Chrome
Goofy done in a Elegant Sierra, Gun Metal and Chrome
Mickey Mouse done in a SN Gent (Timberbits) Gold
Mickey Mouse done in Jr Gent, Chrome
Mickey Mouse done in a Elegant Sierra, Gun Metal and Chrome
Mickey Mouse done in a Elegant Sierra, Gun Metal and Chrome
And finally a standard watch parts pen with an Elgin pocket watch dial done in a Nouveau Sceptre, Rhodium and 22kt Gold
Let me know what you think, if you see something that I can improve on let me know I am always ready to learn and get better.
Thanks, Mike
