Made it over a period of a few mornings.. It's Teal Blue Vintage Cebloplast with a #6 Bock nib. I wanted to thank Roy (OKLAHOMAN) for the complimentary nib and feed and Justin (Timebandit AKA Sensei) for the clip. There are a few things that I would do differently had I to make this pen again.. Still so much to learn. Comments welcome but most of all thanks for just looking. Doc:)

Justin, Thanks so much! I couldn't have done this without you!! Work has been really overwhelming and haven't been able to get as much shop time.
Really miss it. My secretary as well as my wife tell me that I'm not as nice to be around when I haven't had my "pen making fix":rolleyes:. Regards, Doc

Very good job! I like the fact that the finial extends some length above the clip -- "Teases" an onlooker as it peeks out of a pocket.

Keep it up!

I knew we'd see you back here, all you needed was breakfast with an Italian. Between Justin and you I might one day make a pen as nice as that..

Hi Doc,

Been off air new provider just now.

I like your Mutant Ninja Pen in every way what was old is now new as all styles recycle from time to time. What is apparent is good old workmanship, the matching clip and nib,
your threads are neat as well. Pics difficult with silver involved I know.

Vintage is new now as always cycles the old back with all the nostalgia associated.

Me at 77 I can recall fountain pens as they were and are now used to be in primary school responsible as the ink monitor to mix and distribute the ink to the ink wells set in the desk corners.Still remember the number of stick pens in the ceilings above waiting to fall down when least expected and the expletives used when the fountain bladders let go in the white shirts.

Ah progress as we yearn for the good old days. Some were real tough WW2, Korea, Vietnam
shortages etc.

Love your work and understand the need for R&R.

KInd regards Peter.

Peter, Thank you so much!! Your eloquence and ability to give perspective to the person and their work in relation to the historical backdrop of our ancestors is amazing. Your words always strike a chord within me like no other. Regards, Doc

Good to see some of your work Doc. I too have missed seeing your early morning works of art. Nice piece of Cebloplast, it sure made a sweet pen.

Looks great Doc! Don't you just hate it when work gets in the way like that? I'm getting a bit jealous of everyone making such great kitless pens with actual vintage materials. Thanks for showing us Doc.

I have some of that material and I was going to make a kitless out of it soon. I guess I will wait for a little while now. In fear that yours will show mine up! Great work Doc!

looks fantastic Doc though I do not see teal in the colors. I wish I could get away from kit pens and just do my own designs and maybe I will soon seeing as I have a kazillion kit pens made. I have a problem though with the need/want to use my own creations for the body parts. I do not like to buy blanks (besides wood of course) and wood a PR from what I understand are not great materials to thread in. Clips... where does one find clips. I have looked every where for clips suitable for kit less/semi kit less pens.
Anyway, glad to see you have broken away from the kits and have started to make more fulfilling pens.

Brian, Thank you! I got the clip for this pen from Justin (Timebandit) and I believe he got them from Brian Gray...Doc
