Stewart Conway Bronze Rollerball

[wizard]

I was surprised when my son, Brantley, just asked one day last week if I wanted to make a pen with him and have some father son time. So we did. He was 11 when he started making pens. Somewhere along the line, we made the front page with father and son pens. I think he was 13 at the time. Time passed and now at 21 and a college student at Texas A&M San Antonio he 's been busy. Nevertheless, he found time to do this together. He picked out a Stewart Conway Blank blank and a British Made Rollerball Pen Kit and got busy. He worked and we talked. I watched him initially going through steps and after a while I just got interested in the conversation and found myself not really paying attention to what he was doing until he had nearly finished. I set him up with a pen press and he finished. He let me take some pictures of a beautiful pen and post them here. It was fun and I treasure the moments I have with him.
Kind Regards,
Doc

Beautiful work and even more importantly you had some great time with your son.

Beautiful blank and finished pen.

I read something recently that makes your story of a 20 year old working "shoulder to shoulder" with his father even even more dear.
