Thread: weekend try out

Not a bad first up effort, but I can see a couple of things. In the first pic the it appears (and it may just be the photo) that the barrel on the pen has been slightly underturned & the cap has been a bit overturned. In the second the fit looks to be pretty good but I can clearly see the out line of the decal & the clip is a bit close to the decal as well.
Overall though a couple of nice pens

Good first effort. Keep practising - maybe use the cheaper pens until you get the turning down pat. The decal shape should not be able to be seen. How did you put it on?

Keep on keeping on

Those are a great start. One thing about the 1st photo. Notice how the end of the pen is out of focus? It's hard to get the depth of field perfect when pens are shown like this. the 2nd is much clearer end to end. But don't worry about it. We all know that pictures rarely do justice to our pens. I have taken almost as much time trying to get a good photo as it does to make a pen.

Well done on this effort.

If you buy a couple of sheets of decal paper - maybe the water slide on one - and use that you will not be able to see the edges of the decal, only the lettering. It will improve your work and its not all that expensive. I get mine from Decal Paper

If you do get some send me a PM and I will send you the instructions for applying it.
