Been meaning to bug you about this for weeks. Where is the aluminum pen you said you finally finished after getting rid of the dark haze? C'mon, let's see it. ...
Hi Folks, A period (".") showed up at the end of the link that would take you My Weekly Specials Page. The period will cause a "Page cannot be displayed."...
... Well...I goofed. Somehow I got the finial end too small. All of the other 3 ends are fine, but the finial end is obviously too small. Wrong bushing or...
Make your own finial maybe? Possibly adapt a slimline clip and recess it? I assume this is a Berea 8mm Euro, your favorite? Maybe leave out the tapered ring?...
Before I start getting comments on it, the new antler pen that's posted was done according to the recipient's request. He actually wanted the ends to be left...
That sounds like a challenge to me. I once made a pen that was supposed to conform to the way my hand held the pen. I used a dremel tool to take away unwanted...
Tim, Well, so you'll know, I told the recipient today that there's NO way I'd ever do another pen like this for anyone else, especially at my quoted price to...
The pen may be ugly but you must remember two things: (1) the customer is happy and (2) the $$ is a lovely color of green and greg can smile all the way to the...
Hi Folks, This week we have the Craft Supplies USA 10k Americana Filigree pen, 10k Soft Grip pen and the Black Chrome Patriot pen on sale at the 10-49 pricing....
Just a note that Stylophiles Magazine went out of business. Stylophiles was an online publication for pen lovers, catering to collectors of vintage pens....
Advertisers are largely a function of circulation. I came across Stylophiles online a few times, but it never quite interested in, at least in comparison with...
Yes, they tried to cater primarily to the vintage pen market which is smaller than the general or modern pen market. So the circulation is small, and there...
Greg: Thanks for the nice comments. I wrote the article 8 or 9 months ago and and it got pushed back 2 issues. I can't wait to get the pen back. I have been ...
I now have all 8 colors of PVC pen blanks in stock. The website will be updated in the next day or two to show White, Yellow and Red. If you would like to...
Hi Folks, This week we have the Craft Supplies USA 10k Americana Filigree pen, Satin Pearl Americana pen and the 10k Americana Rollerball pen on sale at the...
Welcome, David! I enjoyed looking at your masterpiece very much. Very nice clean lines! Please tell me about the cap finial. Is it solid wood? Or an...
Welcome to the group David. Very attractive and precisely done pen. BTW, if Jay jumps on you...I think it's his way of saying "Hello", but in case I am...
Welcome to the group David. Glad to have you aboard to learn form. Nice pen, workmanship and idea. I'm with Rich and interested in how the clip and finial are...
Thank you for the welcome! I am excited to be a part of this group. My name is David Hamby and I live in Lawrence, Kansas with my wife and two children (3...
Welcome to the Penmakers' Guild David! Great looking fountain pen! Nice design, clean lines, and excellent craftsmanship. I should have guessed you are a Civil...
Ok guys (and gals), I need help on a pen I recently finished. It's an Americana BP, with a platinum finish (from CSU). This pen requires cutting a tennon on...
David, Welcome, and nice job on the pen! Very simple idea, but you did an excellent job with it! Congrats on getting in to the guild. As Pat said, don't think...
Suggestion: Try to removed the CB. Padded pliers (leather or bicycle tube) and rocking often gets these off. Then mount and shave a little off the tenon...
Greg, I have actually put the top barrel of a pen, with centerband still glued onto it, (but finial assembly knocked out of it), back on the lathe with...
