Did a little playing around this weekend. Did a solid aluminum cigar and a one piece click that it is intended to look like a two piece.

Materials...
Thanks.
The black band is Alternate Ebony from exoticblanks.com. The white stuff is also from exoticblanks.com...I think it is a new blank. May not yet have a name...not sure. One thing, it looks better in person. My pic is not so good, I think the white balance is off. It is white, not off white like in the pic.

I really am digging the aluminum cigar. Nice and sleek. Nice job!

Thanks....
I have to give some thanks to my Woodchuck Pen Pro. I only have one lathe chisel, and that is the Pen Pro. I have no real way to sharpen, so at least for awhile, this is the only lathe tool I have. If you have only one, the Pen Pro is the way to go!

The aluminum cigar looks outstanding! Haven't turned any of it yet, maybe in the near future.

Nice pens. I thought the clicker was two parts until I read your statement. Nice.

Did you use solid aluminum bar or aluminum tube?

Awesome pens!
The all aluminum Cigar is amazing as is the Big Click!
Where did you ever get the idea to turn the one piece click to show it as two piece?

I confess...
I stole it shamelessly from another penmaker on this site!

Why can't I see the pictures? I can see others just not these.

I'm sorry, I should have added; can this be done on a wood lathe? I have a bunch of 3/4" aluminum bar and looks like a good use for it.

I am not a machinist...
I used a wood lathe, the Delta 46-460. I am sure if you want to use stainless steel, you better plan on using a metal lathe.

For the stainless I would use the CNC at work but it might be too heavy...lol What tooling did you use????

I love both pens but the aluminum one is striking. Beautiful profile on it with great fit and finish! Thanks for sharing. Doc
