Mazzuchelli Trio

[philb]

Hi,

A nice trio of NOS Mazzuchelli cellulose.
Came out with great depth and colours, quite hard to photograph though. Trying some close-ups in next few days to see if I can pick up the colours better.
Bit tricky to drill, especially with such a long tube and with a drill that doesn't quite do it in one go! But turned and finished very nicely.

Very nice.... They look fantastic on the long clicks which is a great pen

Wonderful selection, I love them!

Looking good Phil.

Edit: Phil, why don't you buy one of the long series drill bits from Axminster? Use the long bit as a pilot ( around 6mm ) all the way through, then use your normal bit ( 9.3mm ? ) from both ends.

Good plan Skip, I did mean the quill rather the drill bit length though. Got round the long bit length by some Colt bits. Just the press itself doesn't have the travel, although now I've got the technique after a few of these clicks shouldn't be too bad! Good idea with the 6mm though, as those bits are much cheaper in the longer series, than buying longer series fatter bits!!

Cheers

Ah...sorry, I misunderstood. Is drilling on the lathe an option?

 

[philb]

Yeh could be an option, never tried!! Always meaning to but never got round to getting the collet chuck I always planned on for this and other jobs!
That's my excuse anyway..

They're all beauties Phil! Love the finish on them.

Great job on these. I like the long barrel pens because they really show off the blank.

Love the simple elegant shape and the colours too.

[johncrane]

I agree with Jeff they look great on the front page, Congrats Phil.:biggrin:

 

[philb]

Wow, great to see my pens on the front page!

On holiday and checking the PMs then noticed, nice suprise after a week away!

Thanks Phil

Those are a gorgeous set of pens !! The length of the components really show off the beauty of the Cebloplasts. I can easily imagine drilling those would be a challenge. Great job !! Perfect place for picture.... Front page.

Nice long barrel shows more detail without interruption. I am planning and learning how to combine sculpting and turning on it.
