    Default Had a go at single piece

    Howdy just thought I'd post couple pics of single piece 7mm I have done.
    And ask the question whether any one else who has tried this system has had issues with the fragility of the nib end due to not being glued to brass tube. Both the pens I have done ended up shorter due to splitiing at nib end due to fact that that end is very thin in the walls?
    Any advice ?
    One is campha with copper and other is tiger mrytle and gunmetal trims this actually looks quite smart. Photo does not do justice.
    cheers

    Default Good Tute

    Howdy Mky
    I found the tute easy to follow and I think you could consistently produce some nice pens using this method. The only issue i had was turning the nib end a little thin which made it fragile and resulted in a shortening of the pen on the first two I did. On the next couple I paid more attention to thickness on nib end and they both turned out pretty good.
    thanks for posting the tute it is always good to be able have ago at new styles and makes it a lot easy if someone has had ago .
    cheers

    If you use one of those kitchen gadgets that look like a foam net they will grab real well and pull the refill out. I started doing these and then saw the tutorial here and a couple of other places. I posted some in the forum for you quick shots but they look ok.

    I wanted to make one of these last weekend and couldn't find this thread... have replied to it now which should make it easier to find next time I want to make one
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Hi Troy.

    Hope you don't mind but have converted your tutorial to PDF format for those who had requested it.
