Thanks - Made this one. Carved it in wax and cast in sterling silver.haha I thought I was going to see some vacation pics. good one. I really like the clip would like a thinner one. I am sure there is something way non PC about that statement. I didnt mean it that way though. where did you get it?
Bruce,
Great clip. Way to take it to the next level. The pen is nice too...
Fountain - wanna dip?I wanna meet the model:tongue:
Nice one Bruce. Is it a Fountain or Ball?( LOL, not that anyone will notice:biggrin: )
Love the clip ..................the CB casein?
Love the clip ..................the CB casein?
The very same. It was also used for pens, but is still somewhat of a flammable hazard, a pain to ship and which I think it is why most pen companies switched to other plastics. Americanartplastics.com has a few varieties. The ivory has a very similar grain to casein. Pretty easy to machine and smells like camphor. It also has a nice feel.I thought that too..
....but I'm glad you asked, cos I don't know what celluloid is:redface: I thought celluloid was the stuff that old movie were made from:biggrin:
Thanks - no spring steel, just silver. I have used several methods in the past, but lately I've been making a washer style attachment with a tab and soldering it to the back of the clip. What I recently learned is that hardening the silver by heat treating makes a world of difference. 2 hours at 650 F does the trick for me. Its now my standard.That's a wow Bruce! do you use spring steel to fix the clip to the final. you also get my vote for the front cover!!
WOW..The details in your casting is really amazing Bruce! Bo Derek should move over, Donna has taken over as 10! :tongue:
Cav, you dog, Ed didn't want people to know he was posing!
Rob, you have your fantasy; I have mine!
