Made it this A.M. Haven't turned or posted much lately..I think one pen in the last two months....LOL..thought I'd forgot how to. Started out making a kitless this A.M. which didn't go so well and will go back to later today. So I thought I would take a break and get my confidence back. So, I went back to a kit and let Gary (CaptG) do all the work. It's one of his amazing watch blanks on an Emperor Fountain Pen. Thanks Gary!!! Hope you guys like it. Comments welcome but most all thanks for just looking. Doc:smile:

WOW!! Awesome work Doc! Love the look and how it goes well with the Emperor kit!

I'm gonna have to get me a few of those blanks!
 
Good to have the Doctor back in the house. The Gold face of the Rolex and the gold of the Emperor, stunningly matched.
 
Whats up Doc,

Always wanted to say that Bugs Bunny line to you as I grew up listening to it.

It is with immense pleasure to me to share Gary,s vision and composition in this casting, I think from memory the first using the cronometer date ring this way and the meshing above and below the Rolex face. I echo the remark black and Gold adding beautiful to behold. Unlike you a quarter after six suits me to rise in the morning Wilma prefers to get up at 5 am. She is home from her 3 hr Oncology major op and its my turn to control domestic things for a couple of months (my pleasure) after 56 1/2 yrs of marriage the longest spell for me barefoot in the kitchen, we get the complete diagnosis this week later on.

You know I may never make a kit such as this one however the whole concept is enrichened by this choice. Like the Emporers Clothes it is always in the eye of the beholder and without a scrap of bias or predudice most fitting collaboration Gary/ Doc. It gave me a shiver down my spine as I viewed each picture revealing but wait there is more to this creation every twist and turn open and closed.

Great to see you on board again keep them coming guys.

All the best for the festive season to you both and yours for a happy life.

Kind regards Peter.
 
Got the same blank from Gary. Have not had time to turn it yet but you have excited me and I will ge tit done this week. Have done a couple of his in the past and they are exquisite. You did a great job.

Beautiful pen Doc!! Its good to see you back at the lathe and relieving some stress!!!
Click to expand...

Thanks Sensei!! It's definitely a stress reliever..lol...not just for me..but for my significant others:rolleyes: . When I get that look from Karen and she states with a tone in her voice "Go make a pen". Roughly translated it means that you are acting like a pain in the ass and it would be wise for you to leave. Hmm.. Get no respect:redface: I think I'm going to take a mini-vacation soon to get away.:wink::smile: Doc
