Aluminum Pen

[BKelley]

This is my first try at a kitless pen. It is made of 6061-T6. I call it kitless, but I guess a better word would be semi-kitless as I did use some parts from a kit.

Awesome.

Do you do that on a wood lathe?

I like to turn aluminum.
Looks like you turned the cap...you should have turned the nib as well.:wink:

 

[LEAP]

Very well done sir, What is the clip from?

 

[paps]

Good lookin pen there! Did you use regular turning tools or carbide?

 

[Drstrangefart]

Sweet! You just triggered my gold standard for a good and different pen. I call it the "I MUST OWN THAT" response.

Nice looking pen!! I have been turning aluminum pens for about 6 months now.I have made a couple dozen.I haven't tried going kitless yet.but yours are really nice.The very first one I did I started out with a 1 1/4" piece of square stock and turned it down to a slimeline.WOW I would never do that one again LOL.
Keep up the fantastic work..
