Fort Knox Bulbie

[Timebandit]

Hey guys! This is my Fourth clipped pen, but the first to show. I will show the rest later, i just had to show this one first. I made this one yesterday. Its a bulb filler in Fort Knox Arylic with a Meister Nib. I am really happy with the way this one turned out! I always loved the clipless pens but lately i am loving the clipped pens.:biggrin: I also went for a different shape on this one, which i am really loving!!!

Sorry for all the pics, i just couldnt pic a couple to show. I think they all show a little something different:biggrin:

All Comments Are Welcome

Thanks for looking

Justin

Thanks Tom!!

I think you got to see my first clipped pen at the Central Texas Meeting. I think it got passed around after Curtis's stabalization demo.

Very well done Justin!

Thanks Seamus!:biggrin:

Earl, i have about 5 or 6 hours in this one.:biggrin: It would have gone faster had i written down my lengths from last time so that things went faster. I had to look at the other one i made to get the dimensions before i started and had to look at it throughout the process in order to remember all i was doing. This was also a different shape and length than my previous pens so this was a new one. I also tried some new nibs, so making a new front section( different then the previous ones i have been making) slowed me down. Im sure they will go quicker now that i have an idea of what i am after.

Really sweet Justin.....

+1 on the tut.....

Thanks Lupe..... Give me some time on the Tutorial..Tom says he WILL make me famous:biggrin:

Very nice job! That is one sleek looking pen.

Thanks Frank!!!

This was done with the Triple Start Tap & Die. All work is done by hand on a wood lathe(Jet 1014VS)

Thanks

Thank you sir! I found it easier to do the clip this was rather than trying to cut a fine slit with my unsteady:frown: hands in my beautiful piece of work.

And i cant give away my secrets until i have them Patented and Trademarked:biggrin::tongue:.......but nice try:tongue:

Great work Justin. I'm starting to like this bulb filler style. Pretty soon you'll be to good for us guys on IAP and we won't see anymore of your work. You'll be too bussy selling those great pieces of work.

Is this filling your fuel tank

Thanks Keith! I hate to say it but i hope you are right!! Not that i dont want to be around here anymore, but i would love to be selling these things! So far they are just paperweights!:biggrin:

And you are filling my fuel tank Keith! Not just with your words, but with your pen blanks:biggrin:

LOL Keith. Yes he does have boocoo talent I must admit. But it is so much fun to give him a hard time.:biggrin: Once people start seeing his stuff, they will sell like hotcakes. I mean he has only been doing this since September and he already has a pen on the front page. Well deserved I might add. I do plan on going down there this weekend and twisting his arm and make him show me some tricks. I may have to torture him some to get the info out of him though. (note to self: load waterboard system in car before leaving Saturday). Maybe it won't be too difficult to get it out of him. :bulgy-eyes::beat-up::devil::hypnotized:
