SUPER SLIMLINE ( It Whats inside that Counts )

[David M]

From the IAP 2009 slimline contest winner ......
A slimline kit with a comfort center band ......

Looks like a standard pen , little longer lower end . It is what inside ....
Look close ................

It is a cigar transmission in a slimline

And it works ..........
alot of step drilling and reaming the center band to fit ..........:biggrin:

Very well done!!:star::star::star: Shows how versatile the humble slimline is.

And the timber is...

Excellent thinking, this certainly opens up a lot of options!

okj..next question then, is how is the tranny attached. Is it glued in?

 

[David M]

The wood is Cocobolo .
I used the threaded peace that the transmission screws into from a cigar pen .
I groud the hump / raised part down ( making it the same size all the way ). Used it as the bushing .
Transmission screws in , and it being a slimline the tip is pressed in . So the transmisssion has to be removed to replace the refill...........

That is an ingenious modification. Pen makers will appreciate the work that went into your pen. Very nicely done.
