A Gentleman's Demonstrator

[PenWorks]

While sitting in the shop and trying to think of what to do next...
I had this block of Lucite tortoise allready cut. So fumbling around, one thing led to another and I ended up making a see threw demonstrator pen. Demonstrators in the "pen world" are made by companies ussually in limited quanities as see threw pens. This will be a fun addition to show clients the inards of a pen.

Thanks for looking, Happy St Patty's day ! "Don't drink and drive"

Thats really pretty awesome Anthony...great idea, should draw a lot of interest at a show...![][]

If I ask permission, can I use your idea...[][]

....and what the heck is Lucite tortoise...??[?]

Very nice Anthony. I like the overall look and as usual you did a superb job.

John, lucite is the material I picked up at the pipe shop. They use it to make the stem of the pipe. It is very transparent, almost like amber. I buffed the inside of the hole.

This photo shows a Delta pen that is highly polished on the inside, the middle one is a Legero I made with the same material, only I painted the tube brown and painted the inside hole green to create a tortoise pattern within the tortoise. It came out okay, but I wasn't jumping up and down over the results. The Wall Street is a tortoise that was not lucite, I made that for myself two years ago, you can see the tube, but it adds to the look of the pen.

Not they you need my permision [] But you can all go out and make demonstrators now []

Very nicely done Anthony! I bet they'll really get some attention. That Ligero is really cool, as is the Gentleman's!

Stunning! Oops. I just said something nice about a non-wood 'plastic' pen. [:I] Don't tell anyone. []

 

[penhead]

Thanks Anthony...and they all look very nice...but I have always been partial to the Wallstreet, and the colors on that one look reallly nice [][]

Frank, I almost fell out of my chair when I read that [] You haven't fancied the green brew today allready, have you [?] []

Don't worry about me Randy, drove to work and driving home, no pit stops here. []

Thanks for the comments. Anthony

Wonderful work - have you tried "amber" - it will be expensive to aquire and don't know how it would turn?

Any thoughts?

 

[PenWorks]

Mik, I tried amber and a mixture of amber and resin about a year ago.
I made expensive dust. [V]

That's a really neat looking pen. I'd never heard of a Demonstrator pen though I've seen a lot of Salemens Samples. Neat Idea and Great Pen.

Anthony...What a great idea. I like the way you did it without a brass tube. You can see the refill. That is really cool. Thanks for sharing that with us.

 

[Fleabit]

looking good!

 

[KKingery]

Beautiful work....inside & out!

Excellent work as usual, Anthony. I love the idea of a demo pen...very creative.
