Kitless Lucite

[Dalecamino]

I was going to put a clip on this pen but, elected to leave it off. I turned the nib and, then realized there's no rim to rest your fingers on. Oh well:biggrin: sometimes things just happen that way. It's blue Lucite and, all the parts were made on my wood lathe except for the refill. As always, comments are welcomed and, Thanks for looking.

I love the blue lucite. As for a rim what makes it mandantory? Your not supposed to push so hard it slips backwards in your fingers and you should be able to grip it well enough to keep it from falling out of your hand. Good work Chuck.

I don't think there's much of anything you could have done to make it "better".

Very neat Chuck, even without a gripper ring in the aluminum. You should be very proud. I am glad Suzanne let you have some play time in the shop. Now get back to the Honey-Do list. :biggrin:

Nice work Chuck. It looks terrific. Good to see you're not letting grass grow under your feet.

Nice work Chuck.

The only thing I may have done differently is making the cap finial more even with the body of the cap. It kinda looks stuck on there.

Chuck,
I love it. That lucite is terrific. I like the nib too. I like the aluminum-lucite contrast. I have one ready to get finished for one of the kids' teachers. Looks like tonight is the night. Great job on the pen.

It looks great Chuck . Great material , color and execution . Theres nothing wrong with the nib , nice shape , good finish . Overall a great pen !!! Things to do better next time , contour the cap to fit the finial and drill the step hole in the nib to have less refill sticking out . Both minor adjustments will make a great pen into a stunner !

 

[TerryDowning]

contour the cap to fit the finial

Or turn the finial to match the cap end size since it's kitless, it's your choice.

But I agree on the finial matching the diameter of the cap. It's just a cleaner look.

Thanks friends, for the compliments and, advice. They are well taken. The next one will be a little different.
