Polka dot fun

[skiprat]

For the life of me I can't remember the name of this kit:redface:

This was just a quick bit of fun really, but the blue dots are a bit wishy washy and the tube can be seen through a couple of them as they are so thin. I also changed the kit to see if a gold one would look better. Not sure either way.

Nothing fancy, but it was an exercise in index drilling using the lathe headstock main gear as the index (40 teeth )
The dots reduce in size by 0.5mm but the gap between the dots remains the same.
I made this while giving my fingers a break from sanding down the steel WTC pen. :biggrin:

Thanks for lookin':wink:

Nice looking pen!!!

Nice technique, a shame about the transparency......still looks really nice though. Think the kit is a Lucida.

I thought I would like the chrome colored hardware better but he gold also looks great. I guess you have made one that is kit color insensitive. Looks great either way. Nice pen.

It appears to be a Pristina, you can get them from Timberbits. Not sure if any vendors here have them.
