Love that pipe-plastic...

[YoYoSpin]

Pipemakers.org Black Rose and Zebra closed end Barons. Hope you like them.

Those are some wicked cool shapes Ed. Really like the shapes you went for on these. The material is great too!

Great work,

Fangar

WOW! That shape goes really good with the black and white colors.

Very nice!

Man, the zebra is awesome. May have to try some.

 

[woodscavenger]

How does that shape feel in the hand when writing? I really like the design but wonder about the comfort.

Ed

You have a wonderful imagination. I always look forward to your designs both pens and stoppers.

Ed,
All I can say is beautiful. Nothing like a zebra in the house!

 

[alamocdc]

I like. My Zebra was b/o'd when I placed my order a few weeks ago. Hopefully it will come in soon.

Hi Ed,


Looks Really Smokin!!!

I just bought some of the material myself, I was wondering how you blacken your tubes if I make ask..

Thanks!

 

[YoYoSpin]

Thanks everyone.

Jim, I've made pens from six of the pikemakers.org rods so far...here's what I've found: the Zebra, Black Rose, Chocolate Mint and Cumberland rods are very color-dense and don't require the tubes to be blackened (IMHO). The Caramel Ripple and Phantom Grey rods will have areas that are totally transparent and require tube coloring.

I try to avoid plastics blanks that are not completely opaque, so my tube blackening experience is limited...if pressed, I'll use a black Marks-A-Lot.

How deep do you drill for a rollerball?
I haven't sat dovn to figure it out yet and I was just wondering if anybody had the answer so I need not invent the wheel again.

 

[YoYoSpin]

For a closed end rollerball, I've been drilling about 2 7/8" deep.

 

[Fangar]

I am right in the ball park with ED on that one:

Thanks Ed, I have some of what you mention, I was in Phoenix last week and met Anthony as well, I did not realize how CLOSE I was to Pipe makers...hey, who are these guys??

The black one with white, is the black a flat not glosy? it look like it in the picture (looks nice flat)

 

[YoYoSpin]

The black is not exactly flat, but certainly not gloss...somewhere in between. Maybe a semi-gloss or mat-gloss. Here's another view:

 

[Pen Man]

Looks good is it the same as the blanks you can get from Craft usa they have black with white those are very glosy when done. Ilike yours better this is why I am asking.

 

[chazmonro]

Ed, truely amazing! Very inspiring.

[pastorbill1952]

Ed, you still amaze me with your ability to make shape and color and size work together.

 

[PenWorks]

Very nice Ed, I find the Brea AA stuff turns & smells very simular to the lucite.

Jim, I guess you will be stopping by pipemakers instead of my place the next
time your in town [] Why do those guys from Canada allways say EH.....EH ?

 

[swm6500]

Great looking pens Ed. Keep 'em coming.
