Mont blank help

[KristianH]

I recently purchased a mont blanc style pen kit , and I'm a bit scared of making it since I've only done slimline pens. All I want to know is how easy is it to make and is there any tips to ensure it does not crack?

Thanks in advanced , kristian

Hello Kristian,

If you have already made a slimline you will not have any problems with the mont blanc, just follow the instructions supplied with the kit, and turn to those measurements.
Use sharp tools, sound blanks a good quality glue well spread over the entire tube this also assists in reducing cracking/splitting.

Good Luck

The only thing Fred forgot was take your time and enjoy it.

Hi Kristian,

You won't have any trouble with the mount blanc style pen. If you can make a slim line pen, no problems. Like with all projects, measure twice, cut once, especially for the central ring. Turning Pens And Pencils by Kip Christensen and Rex Burningham is a good book on pen making.

To all things good
