Yes, It's another Magnetic Rollerball

[egnald]

Greetings from Nebraska.

Yet another Magnetic rollerball from Crooked Mill. This one is chrome and the blank is called "Daybreak". The blank was made from Alumilite by Tim Crowe. Tim is a high school English teacher from the Finger Lakes region of New York. Tim started turning pens in 2019. Prior to that he made electric guitars and their accessories. I love the mix of opalescent red, orange, blue, purple and white all swirled together. The pictures don't do justice to the level of chatoyancy because of the translucency of some of the colors. (You can get a little better indication if you click on the thumbnails and zoom in). Tim makes some really spectacular blanks.

I replaced the Rollerball refill with a blue Pilot G2 Gel ink.

Regards,
Dave

That is a beautiful and colorful blank. I'm guessing you painted the tube. What color did you use?

Gorgeous!

I used white spray lacquer inside the blank and then I added a drop of white acrylic paint to the epoxy when I glued the tube in.

Wow, Tim makes a spectacular blank.

That really is eye catching, Dave.

So, the Pilot G2 refill subs for a Parker 888 or 850?

The Pilot G2 refill is almost identical in shape and length to the Schmidt 888 rollerball. So far they have worked in every rollerball kit I have made. The tip sticks out just a tad bit more than the Schmidt on a couple of kits but not to the point where it is ugly or problematic. - Dave

You are on a roll sir.

That's great to know, thanks!
