Today is my wonderful wife and my 27th anniversary and we will be celebrating
with a visit to Pisa and Venice, Italy for a week or so, from tomorrow. :biggrin:

So.....while she is out shopping for goodness knows what...:rolleyes: I managed to finish off a titanium and stainless kitless. The exercise here was to make the lightest weighing fully metal pen I've done. Capped it comes in at only 42 grams !! Not a particularly snazzy pen but ok for a handbag...:biggrin:

Next, which I just finished are two filigreed slimline variants.

I won't say what issue I had with both these UK Axminster kits but I'd like to know if anyone else has had an issue. These are the ones that need a tennon.
Not sure how long they will last, but they look ok, I think. :biggrin:

Now....I just gotta psyche myself up for a week of ....aaarrgh....pasta!!:frown: I think I'll take her out for a monster steak tonight though...:biggrin:

I'm not sure I like the seam in the middle like that, it just looks a little disproportionate to me. It is neat that you got it so light though! Nice job on the slimlines too, they make a nice set.

I guess I'm on the other side of the fence, because I like the seam. Oh, and Happy Anniverary Steven! Enjoy your trip.

Thanks gents. :wink:
Joe I understand your point and perhaps the cap looks a bit too long ( or the body too short?) I was going to make the seam exactly in the middle, but then subconsciously cut the cap to fit the length of the nib......:rolleyes: oh well, not all fruit is shaped or tastes like a peach...:biggrin:

Thanks again
 
SKIP (pun intended) the pasta and go straight to the 'vino'. Enjoy your trip together. Nice pens by the way.
 
OOOOOH! I like those!:wink: Love the look of the S&T combo. Not yet tried to turn any on my Micro but, may have a go some day.

Congratulations on your anny! Have a great vacation and, don't forget your pen and, handbag :biggrin::tongue:
 
Congratulations, well done ! The pens and the anniversary. Great accomplishment. The anniversary and the pens. Have fun, making pens and your Honeymoon......
