2 Coach Mods

[coach]

The first one is Grandillo with Box Elder Burl/Credit Card centerband.

This one is a Coachmod made with walnut.

I like the Grandillo with Box Elder Burl/Credit Card centerband. It has a good shape and the materials look great together. Nice fit and finish.

Nicely done. Very classy. I wish we could get clips for these SL pens that were a little like the clips on the atlas. They would make the curves look better. The straight clip is a little of a problem for me on bigger pens such as that.

Both are very nice.
What did you use for the CB on the second one?

 

[coach]

Old credit cards.

Finally something to do with old credit cards! Pens are very nice, good job.

Coach, you are my hero! I thought I was alone in my love for turning Walnut! [] Nice pens! BTW, I picked up some nice striped walnut today. Almost reminds me of Bocote. I've never seen walnut that looks like that.

Nice looking pens Coach. You are just cranking them out with no school to put up with aren't you?

Coach, very nice pens and use of the credit cards....(he said as he reached into his wifes purse....)[] Kevin

 

[WoodChucker]

Coach, you did a great job on both pens but the first one is just outstanding, good work!

 

[melogic]

Fantastic job on both pens Coach! Now I know what I can do with the credit cards! []
As long as the wife says it is ok of course. []

 

[Fleabit]

Nicely done! Both are good lookers.

Coach,
They both look really cool, but I especially like the shape of the top one. Very smooth lines, yet you still have some undulation to break up the form. Excellent job on that one! Of course, that's not to say the bottom one is shabby. I've done a few like it, and have always thought they needed something more; the narrow CB is a neat idea to give it a little more visual appeal.

Nice job!

Very very nice coach, now to find some old credit cards[?][?][?] and Shane there were some wave or ball end clips available for the slimline a couple of years ago . I will check with my supplier here in toronto and see if they are still available and from whom.

The CSUSA soft grip slim comes with that clip. I modify this one all the time just because I like the clip better that the straight slim clips.

Ryan,
I only wish that kit wasn't so much more expensive than the slimline! I think it is a much more versatile kit.

Both are very nice

SLAP!

That's the sound of me smacking my ever growing forehead and saying "why didn't I think of that"

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Coach!

Nice pens! For some reason the shape on the second one really does it for me. Excellent job!

Great Idea coach on the CC CB, that's a keeper.

The clip posted by Weewillie is used on a number of PSI pens. It comes in nearly any plating you wish. They used to sell them without the kit as well (don't know if that's still an option). Hope this helps.

 

[driften]

good job coach! They look great!

 

[airrat]

Nice job Coach, so whose credit card was that? [] You put a new meaning to "cutting down" debt.
