Oscar, I cut the rope twist on a Legacy mill, the only pieces I finish on the lathe are the ends that meet the parts.

Kevin, actually I had several names [:D]
 
Now that is a unigue and awesome pen Anothony. When you guys do those kinds of things it just makes learning how to turn pens all that much more exciting
 
Anthony you can't be accused of mispelling a word that only you can create TRECTS. Wonderful mastery in your usual beautiful style. Keep them coming.

NO [:D] [}:)] [:D]

Very good point Peter, maybe I need my own dictionary.

Tom, I bet you would like that Legacy, it sure makes it easier than
using a rasp. I have been wanting to do an overlay like yours, just
haven't gotten around to it.

Jerry, it is black & gold DD BEB

Thanks all for the comments
 
Anthony---Ah, yes---would love to see how an overlay (2 layer) would work out with the Legacy. But, knowing your work, I know it will be great!!

Always enjoy your work for sure!!
 
Can't you post a crappy pen once in a while? Every time I think mine are starting to look good, you go and post something like this!

That's a REAL beauty Anthony! Ignore the envy talking...[;)]

Play ??? I play golf, but WORK on pens [:D]

I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Remember...it's all in how you crank the handle [:p]
 
Glen, the regular size Statesmen with end cap is about 2 15/16, this one is 3 1/2 "
pen barrel only not messuring the overall length with the nib. I have made them from
3-4" in varting lengths, I think the middle of the road looks the best. If you look at the pic posted in my album, it shows some long and shorter and a different taper.
The end cap is ebonite.

WHAT! If and when this hobby stops being "fun" play for me, and becomes work, is when I stop making pens and sell all my equipment!

Anthony, you can't tell me that when you get a new "toy" you don't get it out to "play". [8D]

So that's what I was doing when I first got my Legacy......
If you call blowing up blanks right & left, ducking flying projectiles, making nice rope cuts on my bushings playing.
Then yes, I did alot of playing [:D]

What was it you told me when I got my Legacy, Get your drill bits out and start drilling holes into it to modify it [:D]

Yeh, sorry I missed last night, I was at my daughters 18th B-day party, I had to be there, I was the chef. [:)]

Ed, No extra charge for the decorated spiral bushings,
do you want to buy some [?] [:D]
