Steampunk Polaris

[rich gubbin]

Hi all,
I know its been a little over done recently but i was inspired by JJartwood,s work. I thought by using a longer blank it would give me more scope and show off the design better. C&C welcome.

looks great.

I would not say this is over done at all. I also would say that this one of the best choices for hardware I have seen. I normally don't care for the polaris kit but you just found the perfect match for it. This pen is just awesome! Nice job.

I have to agree with Mike. I think the ridges on the cap lend to the steampunk feel of the gears embedded in the casting. Nicely done!

I also agree with Mike. The ridges do compliment the blank. Great choice on the kit.

That is a really, really cool pen. I'm going to have to stop browsing this forum, my list of things to try to make is getting way too long.

Very Cool!

Love the copper window treatment, cool pen

I think it looks REALLY NICE with that hardware and plating. It just looks like a good solid piece in its entirety. Great combination!

Thanks for the kind comments, im very tempted to try a full watch part job over the "metalwork" just as an experiment to see if it can be done without using a pressure pot. Janster i,ll mail you over the weekend.

Well done, really like the use of the longer tube to show off the blank!

Just finished one this week using a copper bulovia watch face. Turned out pretty good I thought. I'll get pictures posted soon.
