Hi All
i posted this in the advanced pen making section and after some encouragement from "dalecamino" i thought i would also put it in this section.
This is my first attempt at making a kitless pen the whole pen is made from stainless steel, the clip is made from tig welding wire it was drilled on an angle and press fitted, it took some effort to pry out with a screwdriver when i did a test fit so hope it doesnt work its self loose over time. the body of the pen has been sanded to 240g so it has a brushed apperance, the clip and nib are polished to a mirror finish. i pouropsley left the straight part of the nib a little oversize so the die would cut a slight "grip" onto the nib.
the pen exclusing lid is only 50g which is 2g heavier than the cigar pen i have been using for almost 4 years. with the lid fitted it weighs 70g...i definately notice it in my pocket :tongue:
all comments appreciated
thanks for looking
