I'm halfways through working on my set of 8 stamp pens,using the Knights Armor kits,and this series of 8 stamps from St.Vincent.
This pair is #3 & 4.that go along with the other two I made awhile back.This pair shows the Round Table pen,& the King Arthur pen.
The other 4 just need the ca coating and finishing,I hope they turn out,so far they turned out good.
I've got these kits figured out better now.The reason they go in so super tight is the posts on mine measure .0015 larger than a normal 3/8 tubed pen.So I took a tip from another turner that sands the posts with 220 to get it sized right,and filing the tube out.Otherwise,you can't tell when it's really just seated,or if you go too far,the glue bond breaks that holds the clip and decorative rings onto the coupler.That's what happened to my first ones,that I had to fix with lok-tite.
Thanks for lookin'!
