A beautiful pen and a great job. A real tour de Force.

 

I am going to have to get a Carene now.

Talk about difficult to photograph. It's taken me about 50 shots at different times of day to get it to show the colour and this is the best I could muster.

I think it should look nice with the gold.

 

I will leave them to harden off before polishing.

 

Not forgetting the, unusual, never seen on a Carene, surprise I have with this rework.

What is the surprise?

Force, you can plan my castle onslaught any time.

 

...no, wait, that would be appropriate to the Dread Carene Roberts. Magnificent work, in any event.

Oh, good heavens. He's got a blog now, too.

How did you "fill" the slot where the clip should be, Force?

Place tape over the outside and dribble twin pack epoxy into the tip. Remove the tape and smooth the surface to match the profile.

If you look at the picture in my post of 02 June that is the old cap from which I 'borrowed' the new clip. That cap was beyond repair so I experimented and produced this clipless. It looks rather bare so I have a few ideas on making or having made for it a gold, slide on, clip but that will not be cheap. Similar to the early rubber pen clips.

You mean something like the clip-on clips that Kaweco does?

 

You might talk to Watch_art... He recently showed some sterling ornamented ring clips on one of his new pens.

The clipless is beautiful in its simplicity. It's stunning.

Yes and looking again what might make it real nice would be to forget the slip on clip, remove the button and fill it to match the top of the cap....all one would have then is the central gold band............oh no I feel another project coming on.

In between 58's and door overhauls I have been trying to get a good sharp picture but even with my D90 it seems way too soft.

You know, looking at the Ivory again, in my opinion you should paint the jewel in ivory as well....

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
