Sharing Some Old Work

Pelikan-style piston system with ink  inspection window. Fit with pelikan nib and can easily change the nibs just like normal m400 and m800.

The blue-grey one use 925 silver in decoration, brown one is stainless steel( don't have that much of silver )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I admit that I didn't polish them so well  , polishing is really a time consuming work...

The cap is not actually finished, I was planing to use silver casting with gem inlaid, however I have to focus on my school work

Very nice work!

Very nice, I especially love the brown one. May I ask what the name of the acrylic is? I haven't seen many custom pens with pistons, I'd be very interested in details on where the pistons came from, how you installed them, what kind of problems you faced etc.

Hi,

all the parts (except nib) is made by myself, not standard kit. Actually I have no idea about the exact name of the acrylic, those pens were made when I was in China, and all the material was bought at that time, I bought these acrylic as 'smoking pipe material', I don't think there's any pen blank material in Chinese market.

Thanks.

That's very cool! I would love to see photos of the unfinished pens as you were making them, you wouldn't happen to have taken any would you? Do you have a website or something like that?

Some pictures of inner part, I am thinking about try titanium or brass next time, currently I'm using aluminium.

That's very impressive! Thanks for sharing the photos!
