Made this for one of the contests, but it didn't meet those requirements(you can't see the second piece of the 'ballpoint'). Unfortunately it is modified too much for another contest, but not up to the standards I would impose on myself for the advanced stuff....it's a bunch of 'kits' and not worthy.
Oh well, live and learn and then learn some more! But that doesn't mean you can't see it!!!!
The process:
Grab the spring and ink stick out of a Cigar pen, makes this a really short pen.
Make a modified spring from the Jr. Gent 1 Gold Rollerball to go in the backside.
Grab a piece of Ramon Stump w/spalting and make a custom finial.
Set drill depth to make 'body' closed-end.
Standard cap from the Jr. Gent 1 Rollerball.
Step back and take a breathe, you've been busy! BTW, this does not have any CA on it anywhere! And the inclusions that are almost visible on the body of the pen have been left open!
All the piecesthe springs are inside the pen pieces)
Assembled:
Capped:
Maybe next year, I'm out of time to do anything 'great'.....
I will entertain comments and critiques! Anything you would have done to make this better? Could always replace the ink stick and spring stuff with a fountain pen nib......ideas?
