Roman Harvest Fountain Pen

[Vic Perrin]

I got some Roman Harvest Pens Today from Timberbits. I intend to use one for a Wedding Pen that I have been asked to make. I have never done this kit before any tips/advise would be more than welcome.

Just measure all the parts rather than rely on the bushes, treat it like any other pen they are really nice, I look forward to seeing it

Yes pretend its a slimline and just get on with it LOL

Because its a bit bigger drill it slowly and cut the blank longer as there is more chance of the drill breaking out but apart from that beware of the heat generated during sanding as its a bigger diameter but thats all nit picking and you'll do just fine.

It is a straight forward pen to make Vic. Just try not to make it bulbous with it being a large pen !!!

Good luck with these, i have a couple of these to do for my sister in laws 50th birthday present next month, (piccies to follow if they turn out ok )

Just think of it as a bigger slimline. All the same process.

take your time drilling Vic, just as easy as any other pen.

As others have said, using acrylic or similar material the drilling is the key, beware of the blowout so do as Paul suggest by making the blanks a few mm's smaller .. They are a nice pen when finished vic ..

Smaller or longer Jim.

Eh?
Smaller or longer Jim.

I think Jim is getting withdrawal symptoms. Better get that Shed finished double quick time and get some pens turned, especially the closed end one for the competition.

That's not Jim in the 'Plonker' club now, is it?
