Segmented Jr. Gents II

[stevers]

Here is a segmented Jr. Gent II I finished today. This one is Maple and Purple Heart. My week point with the Jr. Gent is the end milling. I need to pick up a pen mill large enough to mill the larger pens.
Thanks for looking.

Try and make a sleeve. Take some scrap wood and drill it out to put in a spare 7mm tube and turn it to the i.d. of the larger tube. Nice execution on the segments by the way.

Nice pen. I like the woods you used.

Nice work! The mix of woods goes well with the plating.

I have sleeves, the trimmer itself isn't big enough to true the large barrel.
Thanks for the comments.

You did an excellent job. But isn't that the Jr. Gent I version? It seems to have the old style nib on it.

Nicely done Steve!

That looks like a JGII. It's just a JGII before they changed the nib.

Looks like a very fine pen. Nice choice of woods, segmenting and kit selection.
Ya done good[]

Thanks all. And it is the JGII before the change in nibs. Haven't even seen the new nib style.

Great looking pen, nice work on the segments.

Thanks Ron. I'll let you know when something new happens. It will probably be something different, maybe very different. I've got some thinking to do.

Steve,
I thought I had posted on this one already, but here goes. I love the laminations, very classy. My friend Joe uses sleeves, that go over top of the mill. I think he just turned tubed blanks down to size. It works great, but it takes some time to get it right, I'm sure. They pick up a patina fast too.

Nice, very Gisiesque.

Looks like a little bit of air between the nib and blank. You may be able to remove the refil and press that out.

Nice job!

Hey Rob,
I believe you did reply once before. I took a couple of picks of the spacers I made to see if it's the same thing you're talking about.

The problem I have is the pen mill "cutter head". It's only a 1/2" cutter and I haven't gotten around to picking up a larger cutter head.
