Two Firsts!

Hi All,


Here is my first attempt at a fountain pen, and also my first Corn Cob.


The later first I can thank Mark Ligget for kindly giving me the corn cobs - Cheers Mark.


The Fountain pen was a bit of an adventure. I bought the kits, but didn't have an assembly diagram.


Looked at Craft Supplies USA for a similar style of kit, and tried to work it out from there.


Ended up leaving 4mm off the lid top to attach the centre band mount.


Appears to work, but cant understand why they didnt supply an assemby piece for this.


Anyhow, comments are welcome.

Very intersting combonation with the corncob and a removable cap pen but I think ya nailed it. I am guessing the cob was stablized? Nice red heue but kinda plump. Great job

I like plump. I like it, nice work.

Kenny,
I like the pen... it looks like one of the "classics" from PennState.. if you go to the PSI site and click on "download library" you might find the proper instructions...

Nice work! It looks great!

 

[Ligget]

I told you you don`t need a stabilized cob[]
Looks fantastic anyway!!

Color of the corn cob looks really good. Great job

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the comments.

The Cob wasn't stabalised as such, but I did use thin CA when I got close to the bushings to ensure I didn't get a blow out.

Very nice finish, and a very rewarding pen to make. Thanks again Mark.
