Sorry but YUK and certainly not on what should be a nice fountain pen.
Plenty will disagree and love so good luck as long as you are happy.

Very nice if your into Steampunk type stuff. Some I like some I don't. Not sure about this one
But I'm sure I've seen a video on YouTube on how to make these type

I seem to be in the minority, but I quite like that!

It's a beauty, I have made loads of them and they sell really well.

I'm sure it'll sell ok.

As already said, some will love them some wont, but it is all about the buyer, if they are happy who gives a toss ..

I am starting to like the steampunk and will be making a few more for sure .. Well done Mark, well made my friend ..

A guy in Australia started the fad for these using aluminium tape he makes some with watch parts as well he also sells thru the states. Very homespun will appeal to many.

I really like Steampunk themed stuff, and I would be glad to cast my own blanks, but here in Italy it's very hard to find (if not impossible) clear PU resin.
I tried to cast with clear casting epoxy but the result is mediocre at best, because its too brittle for turning, and it take ages to set.
Did I mention that is "Very" expensive?

Ave a good day

There is a career in casting but its not for me if I was to go down this road I would have a dedicated room to work in with signals placed to remind dates to keep within the use by etc. In photography developing and printing colour was the same some real danger short storage and the need for utmost care, coming from black and white where I did most everything the challenges to nchange were not worth it.
