Thread: Colourful Rollerball

Beautiful pen Brad. What is the material it is made from?

Pete

Thanks Pete. It’s made from a couple of acrylic blanks from Gary Pye (GPW)

Brad, I, like others are pretty impressed with these kit-less turnings. Can you please elaborate a bit on the process etc, how you do it, mandrels you use, and threat cutting gear etc.

PM me if you don't want everyone to know....hahahaha

thanks

Richard

There’s a lot to explain about how to make these pens, I don’t really have the time to do a tutorial myself, but I will put this link here to a tutorial that Bigshed did and posted on the IAP.
This has enough info to get you started, and there are more bits over there, a tutorial on just the fountain pen section, for example.
If you want to get started into this, I can answer specific questions.

Go here, and click on the download button to get the tutorial.
