If you've ever wondered what 39 Jr. Gent look like all next to each other, then look no further:
This is part for an order that my wife's boss placed for some custom Jr. Gents. These are all custom Alumilite pours, many of them done by my wife (who finds the mixing of different colors fascinating - and has many ideas she wants to try).
One little curve ball: my client wanted a logo in the finial. He's a franchisee for Jack in the Box and has quite a few stores in the western US. It took a bit of hunting, but I found a company that could make them for me. I can post details if anyone's interested.
I still have a lot of pens to make for the order. :banana:
Some things learned:
1) Alumilite regular sets fast.
2) Epoxy is sticky and the hardener does not make the house smell good.
3) Drilling is not terribly enjoyable.
4) Clearing remnant epoxy out of tubes is not terribly enjoyable either.
5) Buffing wheel. Buffing wheel. Buffing wheel. :biggrin:
6) The "new" 10K gold CSUSA Jr. Gents are mostly ill-fitting
7) Staging your work is important.
8) Hone your skew regularly.
