Some Of My Recent Work

[ChrisN]

I haven't posted here for a while, so here are a few of my latest pens.

 

First off, a pen that I am really proud of:

 

This pen is a Denver style that I have named "Morning Coffee". This pen features actual coffee beans in the body and the cap finial, and the cap, section, and the body finial are made from a very coffee-evoking alumilite blank. I sleeved the coffee bean barrel with alumilite to add strength.

 

Next, another Denver with blue/black swirly alumilite. This one has finial cabochons matching the cap/body barrels. I made the section on this pen capable of taking either a fountain pen assembly, or the Schmidt Rolling Riter rollerball assembly.

 

 

And a new style for me, a Cocalico in jade green acrylic. This pen is postable, and is fitted with a stub nib.

 

 

Another Cocalico, also postable, in Sun & Water PR. I really love the pearlescence in this material - pictures just don't do it justice.

 

Hope you all like them!

You are very talented, nice work.

 

Thanks, guys! I like the Denver style, too. Its clean, straight lines make it easy to manufacture, and still elegantly display the material used.

I loved the denver....

I love the Denver coffee one the best.

 

What clips do you use, these seem to be a sensible dia.

Thanks! They are called Triton clips, and I get them from ExoticBlanks.com. The OD is ~14.5mm, IIRC.

I was curious, how do you decide what thread pitch to use on the pens for the cap and or feed units? That cocalico is fantastic!

[AndyNC]

Thanks Chris.

 

I've only found the ones for slimline and similar and had to cut the ring to fit a circa 15mm cap.

 

These sound like the right one for me.

 

Still can't stop looking at the Denver Coffee pen though.

 

Cheers

Just checked the site for the clips. They want $60 to send 5 to UK. I think I'll have to email them.
