Pick 3
We have 10 entries into the resin pen contest. Your job is to pick the best ones.
You need to select your 3 favorites, there will be only one round of voting so the pens that receive the most votes will win.
Pen 1
The resin is alternative ivory and the pen hardware is the Sirocco ballpoint in black chrome finish from Beaufort Ink.
Pen 2
Pen 3
2mm Elete Pencil Kit This style pencil is usually made witout the use of a brass tube. Since the
contest required a brass tube I went to the late Richard Klienhenz article "A
Sunday Suit for a Pentel Pencil" for help. Even though this is not a Pentel Pencil
I was able to modify his approach for using a slimline brass tube and slimline
finial to complete this entry.
The blank is from my old stock; orgin unknown. It has the unique odor of
celluloid but I cannot confirm that celluloid is the actual material.
Pen 4
This is a Red Dragon Diamond Cast Blank on a magnetic Zen Rollerball kit.
Pen 5
It's an acrylic acetate blank called 'Volcanic Flame' on a PSI RAW Aluminum kit.
pen 6
pen 7
The pen was cast by me in Alumilite using the inside wires from Category 5 network cable on a SteamPunk frame.
Pen 8
a Diamond Cast blank dressing a Patriot.
Pen 9
Aero Click in LD and mica MOP and homebrew micarta chunks. Tube painted red before intubation.
Pen 10
The pen kit is a PSI Cortona in chrome, the blank is made by me.
This "Cortona Five Sided Twist Pen - Twisted" was created by segmenting Acylester Black and Silver (PSI), it's also used on each end.
A 1/8" groove was cut into the Amedeo Blue (Exotic Blanks) body.
After turning the blank down the desired diameter, I used my router/lathe to machine a five sided 1/4 turn twist.
