The red baron

[darbytee]

This is my first baron, done with red dyed stabilized maple and a chrome kit. I really like the kit, although it has an awful lot of parts. I actually had to pay attention and read the instructions. Thanks for looking.

Simply beautiful, Fred. Now who said the chrome doesn't look good?

Nice pen. I have been wondering about the baron in chrome. Looks like you can get a nice pen without paying the big bucks

Thanks for all the nice comments. I like the chrome kits. I've found that customers (for the most part) can't tell the difference in platinum and chrome finishes but can definitely tell the difference in price. Unfortunately I won't be able to sell this one. The upper tube developed two hairline cracks when I drilled it with the monster bit. While I'm sure the combination of the gorilla glue on the tube and the CA in the finish has sealed them just fine I'd hate to have it crack more in a customer's hand. Guess I'll have to use it myself.[]

Do try it. Rapidly becoming one of my favorites. For your first one, have a picture of a completed pen in front of you. You can capture a picture from the forum. The instructions forget to mention of inserting the black band so use care at that part. After doing several the order of things gets easier.
