As Requested

[kjmc1957]

Hi All

These 2 were requested by a chap I work with one for him, one for his wife, before any smarty pants asks....the Vertex in purple is for his wife.

C+C always welcome, other than the photography as it is what it is at the moment.

So, the hot pink one is for him and the purple one is for his wife, what kit is the hot pink one on, I think that both pens would go down well with the girls

They do it for me Kevin, i am all for plastic my friend, my daughter in law asks me regular for pens made in the purple haze for her friends birthdays, or any other celebration that is happening at the time ..

Kevin,

Slightly confused, the purple clad kit isnt a vertex, isnt it a magnetic rollerball kit? Is there not a couple of rings missing from the top of the chairmans pen?

You are right it is a magnetic, my mistake, when I looked at the destruction's for the Chairman's Kit on the IAP it doesn't say anything about the spare rings, which are still sitting on the bench in the shed, I'll disassemble the cap tomorrow if you can tell me where they are meant to go, on the post or above the pocket clip.

Great looking blanks on those.
Nicely done.
I prefer more B2B for those components rather that the barrel effect.

Kevin,

Can you give us a review on the magnetic rollerball? What's the kit quality, balance etc like?

On the issue of the rings, they fit on the centreband on the cap. You will have two rings, one gold, one chrome. As you have a chrome kit the rings should be assembled so you have a chrome sandwich with the gold bit in the middle. If all not clear let me know and I'll post a pic of one that I've done.

Kevin,

Search the Axminster site for executive pen and you can see the top there, same pen different name.

They go on the cap end like this... probably

Couple of nice looking pens there Kevin, well turned & nicely finished

Hi All

Thanks for the advice on the rings, I've had a look on line and I think I'll just add the single chrome ring as the single band of Gold (Coloured) jars a bit with my sensabilities.

Neil
I like the magnetic pen, I put a high waist on it to stop it looking too linear, in the hand the weight is fine but when the cap is posted I feel it's just a tad too long, as Im not a great penman I'm not sure how it would feel when writing, but with the cap off I found it fine to write with.

The kit reflects the price I suppose but the machined parts fitted well and the coating gives the impression of haing a depth/'thickness' to it.

 

[Neil]

Thanks Kevin.

Well done Kevin I would leave the rings of there is nothing wrong with what you have done its just different and to be honest mate I like it and if your friend likes it your on a winner
