Epsilon and Omega

[silver]

My grandson finished these off today.

Omega fountain pen
Dressed in TB blue acrylic - tubes painted
Sanded through the MM and polished.



Epsilon
Dressed in polyester Acrylic - Merv blanks
Sanded through MM and polished



Doing the final polish with the MM.


Proud of him, he is only 9 and managed to drill them out, glue them up (I helped cut the blank and square them off) and then he has turned them with grandad looking of his shoulder.

I think you should retire from pen turning Eamonn as you have been overtaken by the next generation !!! LOL

Good team Eamoinn like them both looking closely at the approach on the Epsilon at the tip end in reference to your observations of differing thicknesses it is a decision how to acheive a smooth transition coming off a straight run to a lessor small straight then taper tip.Beaut bonding with the lad mate.With so many grandsons remote and married I missed these oppotunities we have one the youngest granddaughter here where I live she is joined at the hip with her grandmother her other hobby is next to blackbelt Tai Quondo., this we watch.We have had three more GG kids this year total about thirty of them.

Kind regards Peter.
