Pen from my first PR cast

[Lenny]

Here's my first pen made from my own pr casting.

 

[nativewooder]

That's rilly, rilly, rilly good, Lenny!!! Great color! Great form!

 

[Dana Fish]

Beautiful job Lenny! Can't wait to see more

 

[Boz]

WoW, WoW, WoW
My favorite color blue with my favorite pen a Gent Jr.
How did you do the top of the cap with the same material as the body?

 

[PenMan1]

Good job, Lenny!

Coastal Scents is having 20% off sale. Time to load up on supplies.

 

[Old Lar]

That's a great pen, Lenny. I think your first casting was a success. Great colors!

 

[bitshird]

Great looking pen Lenny, I like it a lot.

 

[patmurris]

That's a really good looking pen. Your first casting produced great results indeed!

 

[seamus7227]

Great job Lenny! I would love to take that off your hands if for some reason you may not be happy with it.:biggrin::biggrin:

 

[NewLondon88]

Cool! Nice finial work too.
Nice swirl.. subtle coloring doesn't beat you over the head (something I
tend to do when I get a new color to try.. I overdo it) works well with
the kit too.

 

[Tom D]

Lenny, it's a great blank and a super pen

 

[Brooks803]

looks great Lenny! That blank really pops!

 

[stolicky]

Good job.

Thanks Charlie!

I've been replacing the finial lately as you noticed but I always have the same problem .... a little hole developes right at the peak. I can't get it to come to a defined point.

Is that caused but some small alignment problem perhaps? I'm using a collet chuck.

Great job Lenny! I would love to take that off your hands if for some reason you may not be happy with it.:biggrin::biggrin:

I think my wife beat you to that! :biggrin:

 

[ldb2000]

Great looking cast and pen , good job !!!

 

[Lenny]

Thanks for all your kind comments!

Andy, I did get some of the Delta Creamcoat paint .... It made a big difference.... covers good and bonds to the tube ...NO flaking! Thanks!

I cast my second "brick" today. If the outside is any indication it is BLAH! Maybe when it's turned it will surprise me.

 

[Akula]

That really did come together well. Nice job

 

[boxerman]

Wow a very nice pen.

 

[PaulDoug]

Yes Great Job!

 

[ghostrider]

Nice looking pen.

 

[simomatra]

Nice work Lenny, the colour and swirls have turned out well

 

[wiset1]

It's always a great feeling knowing that it's your own product. As much as I love some of the blanks from exotics it feels really great when I make something myself. GREAT job on this one!

 

[phillywood]

Lenny, that' a heck of a good looking pen, if you just send me one to look at it up close then it would even be sweeter. It looks like those out of space picture of the earth colors.

 

[Edward Cypher]

Lenny I hope my first brick turns out half as good as yours. The pen is awesome. Love the blue swirls. Just fantastic.

 

[robutacion]

Certainly a nice blank and a well make pen...!

I tend to get that sort of colour and mix all the time, just a inclination I suppose...!

Great job overall, lets see the next ones:wink:

Cheers
George

 

[Lenny]

Thanks again for the comments!

It's funny how the color can vary between blue and purplish depending on the light.

So far I'm not wild about my second pour ... hope to round a blank over today to get a better idea of what's inside.

Thanks again everyone!

 

[wizard]

Lenny, That looks GREAT!! Don't know how I missed this. The blank has such beautiful pearlescent and iridescent colors and qualities to it. Looks like your looking into another solar system. You did a phenomenal job for your first pen from your own casting. I got some resin saver molds and looking forward to doing my own casting. I know where I'm coming for help:wink:. Again, beautiful pen. Looks great with the custom matching finial. Thanks so much for showing. Regards, Doc

 

[Seer]

Nice Lenny I like the blue shimmers. Looks like we are rapidly falling into the abyss :biggrin:

[Katsin]

Great color and contrast.

 

[crabcreekind]

awesome job on the casting

 

[InvisibleMan]

Wow that turned out great! It looks like one of those supernova dust clouds or whatever they are. Stars are being born!

 

[Mrs Rojo22]

Very nice!

Robin

 

[garrettdave]

Very nice!

Dave

 

[ZanderPommo]

Beautiful pen Lenny

 

[munawar]

Excellent. I starting to learn about casting. If my first comes out half as good, I'll be happy.

 

[soligen]

That looks really nice. So, you hooked now?

 

[Lenny]

That looks really nice. So, you hooked now?

I dunno ....

Is it possible to have an addiction within an addiction? :wink::biggrin:

 

[louie68]

Lenny nice casting on your pen.

Oh, just wait.

When you wake up in the middle of the night to write down a great
combination or technique you thought of in your sleep..

(and then in the morning, it looks like you wrote it in Klingon..)
