My tangerine ribbon fountain pen mod

My two double closed end pen (pics P.1 and P.2)

Hello

This is my last pen (the 8th), always without any lathe, only my drill. It's a gentleman Jr fountain pen with tangerine ribbon celluloid blank. It's for a friend who wanted this "epure" confused: = simple and zen) design. It's not easy to do this mad, I have had to make my own tools to turn it on my drill but with time, I did it :biggrin:

What do you think about ?
(I know: my pictures are very badarty

I admire your ingenuity in using just your drill to turn this FP. It is a testament to your fortitude and hard work. A job well done! :glasses-cool:

 

[TribalRR]

I don't normally do "good job" posts, but that fact that you did this on a DP... Nicely done regardless of the tools used!

 

[Ligget]

Excellent work, keep up the good work!

 

[toolcrazy]

Wow, without a lathe. Nice work.

 

[gketell]

A double closed end on a drill press? Man, my hat is off to you!

You are going to fall over first pen you make on a normal lathe!

The work with a drill press is difficult in comparaison of a lathe, because I have to mesure with a comparator the concentricity regularly and the work's position isn't easy :biggrin: (I have to broke my neck, as one said here).

Real nice work, even from an awkward position. Heck. Why not just lay that press down & use it like a lathe.

Mmm I don't know. Perhap's cause I don't want to lay down and push up the drill all the 5 minutes ?!

Desertyellow: "kudos" what's this ?

Another pen this WE

Hello

This week was particularly pluvious, so here's a new pen. This is on a base of gentleman Jr fountain pen kit, with antique gold celluloid blank, and less and less part of kit. In a few time, I would like to make the most possible part of the pen without a kit but for this pen, I only wanted a simple but beautiful pen. Do you think it's win ? :wink:

(HS: is there anywhere a tutorial or exemple in making homemade clip in stainless steel ?)

 

[Maximil]

No ideas for clip or for this pen ?
