I often save pictures of pens that have elements that I have not figured out yet. I find I learn best with some good instruction, a video I can watch a hundred times, and sometimes a mentor whom I can ask questions or solicit feedback from. The last ingredient is practice. I learn a lot from my mistakes. I pick up problem solving skills like; how do I hold this piece now? What tool do I need to make or get to solve the current problem. I also make a list of the next steps so I am constantly learning.
Currently, I want to learn to make cap rings, I want to get better at adding clips, I want to learn to make ebonite sleeves, and polishing internals for demonstrators.
Any mentors interested in a new student??
Attached are some pens I have made recently to show what I know so far. For these I both casted the blanks and turned the pen.
Thanks in advance.
