A green kitless. Yay!

Here's one I just did. Went out to the shop around 10 and knocked this one out real quick.
2 hours is pretty good. 2 1/2 with a break and fooling with the camera.

The cap is a little thicker round the midsection than I'd like. Oh well - I'll have to pay more attention to the dimensions in the future.

Plastic donated from all of you guys.
I can't thank you all enough.

Is that cebloplast? Because if it is then whoever recieves it is one luck kid!

Ah, thank-you! I was wondering what one of those would look like finished, so thanks for showing it off! Great job picking up the kitless, because if I remember right you started doing that less than 3 months ago! I hope I can pick it up that fast when I go that route.

I turned my first pen January 11. I don't see why you couldn't do it. Go for it!

I like the green.

Nice work on the pen.

Thanks! I really like the green too. One of my favorite colors.

That is not Cebloplast material, it's an Italian Polymer Resin I sold (in a number of colors) here on the IAP awhile back. A very good quality resin.

Looking good!!!

Of all the ones you've posted to date, this appears to have the best finish from the ones I've seen. Personally, not thrilled with the cap shape, but thats me. All in all, very good looking pen!

Thanks!

And yeah - the cap is a bit chubby. Oh well - somebody will like it.
