    Default Timely Steampunk

    Pen Blank from Capt G Pen Kit from Timberbits.com Australiana.

    First time turning this material used 1/4 inch skew on the flat in steps then 3/4 skew.
    U Beaut triple E, then Brasso Cream polish.

    Lots of concentration the most expensive blank yet.

    Kind regards Peter.

    Excellent work Peter. The pen is beautiful.

    Since Marla sent me one i have been a sucker ever since.

    Good to see you have stepped up from the slimlines Peter, it has taken a long time for you to bust out and express yourself in the lager diameter.

    The principal does not alter and in many ways I think the slim line is much harder to perfect than most people think. next think I will see is you making big thick pens mate.

    Gee Peter, that is a great pen !. I never thought to use U-Beaut EEE instead of Micro Mesh to sand back the acrylic finish, I'm doing several acrylic pens tomorrow, and I will use that instead of MM. .

    Thanks guys wish my best pics would shake their hold of Picasa and transfer as the program used to be so friendly.

    Les mate because I have only used a very few different kits Elegant Beauty has a few variations so I have been saving up to buy the right ones for those of yours and with your permission when I turn and assemble the others would like to put them on the forum with credit to you for them.

    I am in awe at the incredible way Les you achieve and highly regard your Friendship

    Regards Peter..

    G'day Pete - You've done a great job, that's a very nice pen . The Australiana kit is good choice with the steam punk blank. I'm just beginning my journey into casting and I will definitely try to make some steam punk.
