Thread: Another 'new' one

Wow! Another original!

Did you carve the stainless first, cast the resin around it, turned the pen, then bent the clip?

LOL Dave, that would be too easy and I like doing things the hard way,

1. Drill holes down the middle of the Stainless
2. Tap for the threads
3. Hand file all the curves in the steel
4. Treat blisters
5. Make a nib
6. Bandsaw and file and sand 4 resin parts to fit
7. Clamp and heat resin to steel to get perfect fit
8. Glue up
9. Re-drill holes
10. Turn back down to the steel and polish
11. Hold breath and bend the clip

Has anyone ever told you that you are very talented?? Well let me be the first. You are very talented!!!!!! To say the least. Excellent work and craftsmanship. Keep them coming. Always enjoy looking at your work.

Skippy,you are on a different level all of your own.

Just brilliant.

And rightly so you are pleased, that is simply stunning, and as a retired fitter and turner, I know what you mean about blisters hehe !! cheers ~ John

Well, no one can ever accuse you of being just one of the crowd, can they? Amazing, as usual.

I wouldn't show it around my parts though, or it won't last long. We hit anything that looks even remotely like a snake with a very large stick

Sick, just sick...you are a very twisted indivdule...and I like it!
Maybe one of the most outstanding pens I have seen.

Beautiful pen mate,Well Done
