I lost this pen this week end

[Dalecamino]

But, I know where it is :redface: My older cousin from Tucson and, her husband came to visit. We all met at a restaurant. They have always shown interest in my pens so, I took this one along to show them. In the parking lot, we were waiting for other family members to arrive so, I thought it was a good time to show it. Handed it to her husband and, showed him it had a triple start cap. After looking it over he catches up with my cousin and, says "Hey, look at Chucks pen!" She takes it and, says..."OH...it's a Fountain Pen!" I LOVE Fountain Pens" "Thank You Chuck" :redface: I started to ask to, have it back....then remembered when I was about 8 years old, my mom sent me to stay with them for awhile. They were so good to me, I didn't want to go back home. It was worth the pen.

Now, about the pen....Blue Ice Cebloplast (I believe) #5 Heritance nib Rhodium plated parts. I only got two photos before the camera developed some issues with memory card. Thanks for looking!

I have been told I was and still "good for Noththing"

Can I see your pens. I see why she liked it.

 

[Sataro]

Easy to see why she liked it. A very nice looking fountain pen!

 

[mredburn]

Great Pen, you do realize Chuck that you can always make another. They on the other hand cannot. And isnt half the fun making them?

 

[sbell111]

You're a good egg.

 

[JohnU]

Beautiful work Chuck! That's one of my favorite materials to make pens from. Not the easiest material to work with but it sure makes a pretty pen.

Very much appreciated! Thank you.

Yes, Mike I do have more of this material and, more brass. Most of the fun IS making them. The rest of the fun is seeing the smile on their face when they receive them. I was going to make another one anyway :biggrin:

You're a good egg.

Thanks Steve. I kind of like being an egg :biggrin: (I think)

Thanks John. I DO have to agree with you about the material. Pretty stuff!

Impressive! I think you made that pen for them and just didn't know it yet. Well done.

Chuck..... Great Pen, Great story!!!

 

[stonepecker]

A great pen and a wonderful memory for yourself.

Priceless.

 

[Mintman]

Beautiful! I love your components. Are you plating them yourself?

 

[OZturner]

Beautiful Pen, Chuck.
Being positive, If you have to loose a pen, then better that you know where it went and see their joy and delight.
Another positive, I wonder how many people she has shown it too?
That's Great Advertising.

I know, It's easy for me to be so philosophic, as it wasn't my pen.

Looks like you figured out those calipers.Nice pen by the way.

Thanks Brian. She likely hasn't shown it to many as, they are still here in Indiana. I hope she will show it around when, they return to Arizona.

Looks like you figured out those calipers.Nice pen by the way.

:biggrin::biggrin: LOL! I made this one before the other pen. It was the M3 blank that, messed me up. Thanks!

stolen pens

I just started turning in December and if made about 30 pens had them in a case in my truck which got broke into today and now got stolen. how frustrating as we all know here hand craftsmanship can never be replaced difficult day

 

[William Menard]

twhosking, it is unfortunate that some people steal and feel they are entitled to something they didn't work for. Makes me sick. I will turn that negative into a positive, send me your address in a pvt message and I will mail you a pen kit and blank, let me know what bushings you have. Maybe if 29 other turners feel like I do then you will have 30 pens in no time.

Hey Tom,

Sorry to hear about the lost collection. PM me with the same info and I will send a kit and a blank. Also, apologies to the OP for the thread highjacking.

[William Menard]

twhosking, can you send me your address so I can send you a few kits to help with the stupid and worthless thieves. I don't mind paying it forward to another pen turner.

 

[Twissy]

Beautiful work Chuck. Love the elegant design of the hardware and it looks like the plater has done them justice!

 

[Rick_G]

A nice looking pen Chuck. At least it sounds like it went to a good home. Just goes to show you, never show your work to a relative you like unless you are prepared to lose it.

Thank you John. Yes, the plating is of high quality indeed.

Thank you Rick. This pen could not have gone to a better person. Your advice is well taken :biggrin:

I am quite pleased, my thread brought you guys together. :biggrin: Something good came from it. No need to comment on the pen OR, even click the like button :biggrin: A lesser person might have objected. NOT me! It even inspired one to join the forum and, make his first post right here!:wink::biggrin: Sorry about the loss of your pen collection and, WELCOME....to the IAP!
