    Inside cap plastic sleeve

    I have been sent here from Reddit pens as I have a question (thanks octopips) I have an old generic / no make filigree Roller Ball pen that has great sentimental value for me. It is styled on the Parker Duofold. Inside the cap there is a plastic sleeve that holds the cap onto the nib part when...

    Celtic Spirals

    This is my most recent pen - the body and cap are Italian acrylic (trimmed in black) with nickel fittings. The nickel clip features a Celtic spiral pattern - chased and filed. Bock #6 (from Beaufort Ink, of course!) in an ebonite section and 13 mm cap threads. I have been amassing these pens...

    Juma & Connemara Marble

    Working from the pair of prototypes, I landed on this as a first shot. I was trying to work through some proportions that pleased me while working a little bigger - #6 Bock and 13 mm cap threads. This pen features Green Juma barrels (thanks JayBreda for this gift) and a Connemara Marble...

    Black Ebonite & Nickel Silver

    This is the one I've been working on this week. Doesn't look like most of a work week to you? The pen only took about six hours. The metal work took about three days. (In all fairness, that time includes making a couple of the parts twice because sometimes I do foolish things. The learning...

    Oh! Look at this!

    Decided that a faceted pen was finally not beyond my skill set. Planned a bronze clip for this. Then looked at it and said, "Nope. Done." (Octagonal, so it doesn't need a rollstop either!) 13 mm cap threads, Acrylic with ebonite section, Bock #6 nib from Phil. Might actually keep this one.

    Knights Templar Pen

    And…finished late last night. This is a Bock #6 nib, 13 mm cap threads, black ebonite throughout. Proper photos later today.

    New Custom Pen and New McKenzie Blank

    This is one of our latest ones in a new blank from Tim McKenzie (@mckenziepenworks). This blue is fabulous – add the sparkle that comes with Tim’s DiamondCast blanks and the daylight takes over. Bock #5 nib, a custom nickel clip and three-tiered cap finial make this a simple deco-style pen...

    Beufort Mistral in Ebonite.

    My first Minstrel pen kit. I got the centre band in the wrong location and I can not seat the piece that sits on top of the cap fully obviously I am doing something wrong. But what ever I would certainly do another one.

    British made Pen Kits help required

    Hi I purchased a stainless steel British made Shakespeare pen kit. The pen did not turn out well I used Yew. I ended up using three blanks to make one pen. The blanks blew up on turning I ended up with holes in the wood and splits. The pen looks awful. It was not a cheap kit so I would like to...

    Rollester & Polymer clay

    Hi All. Well they don't always go to plan. Didn't get the catch on video I'm afraid. I have put the Rollester clip on the cap. Now I will try a closed end turning and still keep the clip. Polymer cane pen. - YouTube

    Variations on a Celtic Theme

    The jewelry maker with whom I collaborated to make the standard model (ebony with CA finish - posted earlier in the week) wanted a variety of woods for his retail store. Shown here (L-R), the pens are done in (A) brown dyed Box Elder, (B) Bocote, (C) yellow-dyed Box Elder, (D) gray Tiger Oak...

    Another Kitless

    Pair of Mistrals in Honey Noir

    Time to step over that silly edge and finally post something I've made. Still chasing scratches and spending what I feel is far too long on the finishing process but learning a lot! I'm happy with these two. A pair of Mistrals in GPS Honey Noir Acrylic, cap bands of the same material, black...

    Christmas Avatars

    I suppose this is the time of year when all you wits and comedians get your Christmas avatar together. There's a prize awarded in December this year for the best one, so get your creativity cap on. And for once, I've beaten you all to it. I believe I am the first, darlings:frenchkiss:

    Yes I do turn pens

    Its been a while since I turned any pens or posted any pics. First of all I turned 10 of each style. The lever action is a new kit for me. The barrel is short enough I can get 2 from 1 blank. I'm hoping it sells well. Second picture is the Over/Under kit also new to me. This pen is a...

    Segmented Jr Gent

    Hi guys, When I made the GT Knurl I had an idea to make up a Jr Gent using the segmented blank that I left over from the knurl. I cut in half again this blank and turned these around and glue the two halves together, forming a chevron effect on one side and a checkered effect on the other...
