Hi Ash,
It was me who started that thread and I too thought it very interesting....as always that's another rather nice pen, your ability to pick complementary accents is brilliant and that combo is spot on...
I think it's time I try to up my game and try kitless....please can you point me in the direction of where to get the inserts made ( your splat) everything else I think is possible from Phil?
Thanks Mark.
If you do decide to go down the custom route then I don’t think you’ll regret it. It’s will probably consume your every waking thought for a while though!
Yes Phil has all the stuff you need to get going, no doubt you’ve seen the tutorial he put together and I think that is as comprehensive as it can be.
As for the coin inserts they are made by a company to my own design. Just to warn you it is a bit of an up-front outlay as you have to pay for the mould to be made. I use different companies for sterling silver and enamel. The mould for the sterling silver version cost around £100 and the moulds for the enamel are £50 each and that’s before a single coin is made from them. Then there is a minimum quantity you have to order, or it gets very expensive. Not trying to put you off but something to think about. I have used a few different companies and more than happy to give you the details.
Anyway if you decide to go ahead with the custom pen making then I’ll help as best I can!
Cheers
Ash
