Atrax--Midnight Flames

[ed4copies]

Well, I've turned a couple pens again, with my new vision!!

This one is a newly available component set and some material I happened to have in the basement:biggrin::biggrin:

Hope you like---I do.

Comments and critiques welcome

Great pen! I love the new Atrax! It is my new primary pen kit.

 

[boxerman]

Very nice looking pen.

Great pen Ed. Can't wait to try that kit.

 

[Tanner]

Very nice pen! I haven't tried the new Atrax kit yet, but it looks like a nice kit. It looks like a Statesman Jr..

Tim,

Uses the same size bushings as the Jr. Gent series---but it is a "stripped down" version. Very simple and affordable!!

 

[rizaydog]

Very classy pen. Nice work.

Just took a look at 'em....admittedly for the first time. And I like the pricing you have assigned them.


Question: Is the clip as heavy duty as it looks in all the photo's I've looked at? And what are the tube sizes(seeing if I can use these pieces to turn closed-end, and save some cha-ching)?




Great looking turned pen!

Scott - I've not checked the lengths - but the tubes are the same diameter as a Jr Gent. If you go look for my SOYP, I made 2 closed end pens (1JR, 1 Atrax) last weekend using the same mandrel. I havn't done cap closed yet, but you should be good there too.

Gerhard - those are beautiful!!! You should share some of your pens as your own threads in the Show Off Your Pen forum too, so more members will see them!

Looks like you have been busy, Gerhard!!!

Your collection of Atrax demonstrates another thing I like about the "family"---the clip ends look extremely similar, so if you have a ballpoint and RB/FTN in your pocket, they match!!!

This is not true of many "families" of pen.

Nicely done sets!! Thanks for showing!!!

looking good Ed!

Did you reverse paint?

Phil

No, I rarely paint Phil!!

If SOMEONE is going to screw them up, I HOPE it will be me, so I TRY most of my materials without paint.

This one turned out really well, but the amount that remains on the pen is fairly thick.

Hope this helps others!!:biggrin::biggrin:
