This is a great Forum and i have learnd much about the pictures ( they are not in english). I turne pens since 3 jears and have much fun.
Here is one of my closed end ballpoint pens.
many greetings
Harry

[potter]

Hi Rick,
Harry the potter would be correct[][][]

 

[workinforwood]

It's pretty sweet for sure! Looks like a comet. Is it a twist pen? I wish I had a tutorial for that, because that's a pen I need to own. Very conversational! Perhaps if you can't explain how it's done and what parts are used, someone else can?

 

[potter]

Hi Jeff,
this pen is turned on a chuck made of a piece of wood, hope you understand, like a closed end mandrell. I try to place here a photo about the kit. I like this pens because you can see the whole beauty of the wood....ok, i think that was an arabian chineese english[]

greetings Harry

 

[workinforwood]

Is that nib threaded? Where's that kit come from with the parker style refill?

It's my artistic side that has to make this suggestion. Turn a globe out of something swirly like fake turquoise with a flat spot at the bottom so it can't roll away. Drill a hole for the pen to sit into slightly on an angle into the ball. If you find something that looks like a planet, it'll look like a comet striking it. You can even turn the ball so it has some ripples around the entry hole...shock waves! Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm loving my idea!

 

[potter]

what means threaded? You cannot turn the nib,
the kite is from Germany, dont know, whether you can get it in USA

it's a nice idea to turn a planet

 

[workinforwood]

So if the nib isn't threaded, then how do you replace the refill?

 

[potter]

ok, i found my englishbook..it's threaded, the nib is a screw
sorry
Harry

 

[potter]

here is still another, made from red palmira

Hi Harry, and welcome from the sunny south of the UK.[8D]
Nice pens you have shown well done.[]
I was in the Rhine valley two weeks ago and loved it, you sure have a beutiful country Matey.
Can we get an english version of the website link you posted please, I am ashamed to say that I cannot read German.
Regards Derek

 

[Johnathan]

welcome. Thank you for sharing your pens.

 

[potter]

Hi Derek, the Steinert website is only in German, but i saw, that they are shipping worldwide. So you must be contended about the pictures and prices, they are international[], i enjoy at english websites the pictures too, because i cannot understand the most...
greetings Harry
