Home made Cebloplast FP

[Dalecamino]

I got one of these blanks from Keith (mrburls), and a Heritage feed and nib from Indy-Pen-Dance. Followed Georges tutorial on installing the brass bands. Here's what I ended up with. Thanks for looking.

Right!!! Roy, I figure I'd better get all the pens made that I can,BEFORE you get yours running :biggrin: Although, I AM looking forward to seeing your work.:wink:

Oh, do I like that pen. I assume the finial is brass, too. I like the shape of it. Do you need a metal turning lathe to make the finial?

 

[PTownSubbie]

Very nice Chuck!

Looks better than when I saw it on Saturday!!!:tongue:

I am going to have to try the screw in top and bottom! Makes for a nice setup.....

 

[boxerman]

Very elegant pen.

Thanks Jonathon. Better get busy. The interest is spreading fast.:biggrin:

Thanks Robert. Yes, the finial is brass. I shaped it with the tool that is mounted on the post. It's kind of bulky for intricate turnings, and I haven't invested in any other cutting tools yet. I turn my metal parts on my metal lathe, because, I have one. I suppose brass can be turned on a wood lathe, with the right tools, and skills.

Very nice Chuck!

[hewunch]

We come a long way in a short time. That's a really nice looking pen.

Chuck, you really hit the mark with this beauty, and to do it out of Cebloplast, is a BIG DEAL. It certainly isn't for the weak of heart, the pen is a winner on all points.

Chuck..astonishing good looking pen in a beautiful material. It's also a tribute to George and his guidance in how to make the bands. Both you and George have inspired us to reach for a higher standard.

Chuck,

Another terrific winner! Very cool.

Beautiful pen. I know I say it every time you post a pen, but I really think you need to start thinking PMG with these pens.

 

[Dalecamino]

Nice pen.

Scott

Thank you Joe. Non-postable. Exposed threads just don't do it for me.

Thank you Bruce. I'm really enjoying this avenue of making pens.

Thank you Ken! It's really not that bad to work with, once I turned a couple of pieces.

Thanks! I DO want to say that, George posted his tutorial at the right time for ME. I had already been wrestling with the bands, when I took a break, and found his thread. THANK YOU GEORGE!!

Chuck,

Another terrific winner! Very cool.

Mike

Thanks Mike! I have some darn good teachers:wink::biggrin:

Beautiful pen. I know I say it every time you post a pen, but I really think you need to start thinking PMG with these pens.

Thanks Derek! I don't think they are THAT good yet.:redface: But, I'll keep making this style of pens. Because, I really like them.

Great pen Chuck, I really love the vintage look of it! Great to see it working . Very well done!

 

[drgoretex]

Well, I said it on FPN, and I'll say it again here - this is simply one of the most beautiful handmade pens I've seen. Amazing work!

You are really making me think I 'need' to get a metal lathe.

Thanks Marshall. It was certainly questionable when you saw it at Mikes.:redface:
