Another Corian one-piece Slim looks a lot like burl

[Drstrangefart]

I spent some time trying to get the drill press surface lined back up properly so that I feel better about attempting some more complex segmenting. It's almost perfect, I think one more playing card under the clamp should do it. I figured this would be a good way to test it out, and this time it went exceptionally well. I was able to stretch this one out a little more than previous Corian one piece Slims because of the better alignment. This came from the box I got from Corian King, I can't remember what this particular pattern was named. There's a little over-turning at the nib which I have found to be a good thing to allow easier twisting at the nib and pulling it apart to change the refill. I think I'm also due up to clean the MicroMesh pads out a good one. It occurs to me that my finish isn't quite what I want it to be any more, and I haven't done the cleaning in quite a while. Hopefully that helps out. Also, the copper plated kit seemed like the best thing to put on this blank and the colors seem really well balanced.

Allan -- you have the one-piece Slimmie down pat -- looking good.

Have you done any of the One-Piece Cigars yet??? (I know that would be a hard drill on a 1/2 inch corian blank -- like virtually impossible)

No, haven't done a one piece Cigar yet. I guess now I have to do one......

This is a dumb question, how does the ink come out?

Nib-twist, the,bottom tube is free-floating. Nib, tube, transmission and refill are all able to be pulled out with the nib.

Another nice one there Sir!

I remember when you posted your first one piece after seeing one I had posted. You have come a long way, looks great.
