Newton Pens - Preston - Elizabethan - Gibby

[Newton Pens]

Lots of pens this week.

 

Iridescent Chunk - FP, BP (or gel), and MP.

The pencil is made using the internals from a Dr. Grip pencil. The customer wanted this one for the exposed eraser unit on the end. It's better than any of the kit pencils I've ever made. This one can be easily serviced by replacing any parts after a trip to any local office store rather than ordering kit parts online (which may still be no good).

I adore the purple Preston. The solid shiny black sets off that iridescent, swirly purple very nicely. It has the same robust appeal as my Junior Duofolds :-)

Shawn;

 

I can't tell you how happy I am with how this set has turned out. It is all that I hoped for, but even more; The custom touches all along, especially your willingness to completely 'invent' the pencil from a concept to this has just been incredible.

 

I know this set, paired with the journal which TM Lee is making, and the desk top box will be a total surprise for my son. I am sure he will appreciate the custom craftsmanship which goes into all the components. I wrote him a letter recently and he responded with: Gee thanks Dad, it has been a long time since I have received a real, hand written letter", ... in an email of course. He's young enough that FP's are uncharted water for him, but mature enough that I am confident in time he will test those waters.

 

For me the hardest part now is going to be having to wait till he graduates (PhD folks!) to give him this present.

 

Thanks once again for your hard work, and collaborative spirit. Your partnership in this project, from concept to finished product (product? ... more like masterpiece) has added enormously to the notion that this is once in a life time gift, appropriate for a once in a life time achievement.

Love the chunks

[raging.dragon]

The iridescent chunks material is one of my favourites.

 

Using parts from a store bought pencil was a good idea. The thickness of the Dr. Grip pencil is a good match for the fountain pen while still using what appear to be .5 mm or .7 mm leads. The pencil kit's I've seen are either very slim or are clutch pencils using much thicker (2 - 5mm) leads.

Thanks!

Finished this one last night - but had to make another cap this morning. There was an air bubble in the acrylic. Really annoying to finish a cap only to have to start all over. At least it wasn't my fault.

That black one with the green cap top us verrry classy. I like the clip too. Elegant, like a great tuxedo.

 

So you're busy, huh? I guess that's good...I'm in agonies over trying to decide my next pen model and materials. I guess I had better hurry. And of course once I have decided the materials won't be available anymore...
