Thread: Piano Sierra

other than that no probs and everything went smoothly.
nice pen , no .......very nice pen

A good result after all the chaos AmosVery nice.

Cheers Jason

Bugger ! sounds like one expensive pen does look very spiffy though ,one of the reasons I am trying the clear castings is to be able to achieve such things in the future, great work on the pen ,not such good work on your workshop I guess its better to break a light than a leg though, so good in that respect, Cheers ~ John

Amos I bet that put your heart rate up a little anyway the main thing is that the pen is OK, infact it looks brilliant! Excellent work as always!!

Cheers

A real Keystone Cops routine Amos.

But what a pen!!

That is a loverly pen
Did you get the blank in OZ or O.S.?


That tragic story certainly was not music to my ears........

Sounds like a pretty ordinary day to me Amos Love the pen though. Great work.

The kit is from Kallenshaanwoods USA,. Arizona Silhuoette has them BUT they don't send overseas, so you either get a good USA friend to on send them to you, or ask Kallenshaanwoods to send to you; the blank alone is quite costly, the blank and the white holly are laser cut, you then fit the white Holly key block into the blank and CA, then fit the brass tube, and turn. The Black Ti Sierra is from Addictive. PS now I am waiting for you to have a little mishap and I can laugh too!! PPS in fact I will laugh in advance, that way I can act serious when you tell us about it!!! Amos

Beautiful pen Amos

Sometimes it's better to have slower reflexes, that way you would just have wet pants, not so much damage I remember something similar, but not to avoid water, and ended up A over T with a thin steel bar stool leg on either side of my chest. Scared the crap out of me, 2" either way and the legs would have been through my chest - I have subsequently thrown out the chair.

Did anyone else have Benny Hill music playing in their heads while reading that?

... in the end, nice pen Amos

Nice pen - is that a little melted green plastic on the nib end? Made ya look!

Oops, ouch! At least I didn't break anything expensive.

When I first saw it, I thought you had one of Charlie's label blanks Interesting little kit that one, must have been rather fiddly. As usual though, you've come up witgh a good result.

What a pretty pen! Looks like you've solved the problem with the fine black lines between the keys. Anything special we should know about turning this blank? Glad a light was the only thing busted.

Al, with this type pen, just have to be watchful as you turn, with the Jnr. Statesman you MUST bevel the edges to leave the main body fatter to preserve the lines on the keys, the Sierra seems better in this regard, but I take care anyway--once bitten twice shy! Amos
