Love your Pinch Elaine and that drip tip is positively phallic.

Sorry Slots, it's totally a Unicorn project

I kinda thought it would go that way ... but they are beautiful, and I had to try ....
I can totally understand,... you are "talented" my friend

The picture with the purple and white flowers is actual color.

OHhh that is definitely "special" ... Hard to see sometimes how Peter can let them go

Peng and Elaine awesome mods you both have, congrats

Thanks Steve

I figured you would appreciate the pic of the internal poly cap section. I was a little worried about turning the parts so thin but it worked out like a charm. Hopefully I inspired you to turn up something special for your gorgeous pinch too

I agree, the wood sections need a CA finish on them. I just ran out of time here at the shop and didn't buy any CA yet, so that's a project for next week. Thanks for the CA finishing tips, I've never worked with so its really appreciated

Search on YouTube videos of "finishing pens with CA". Use this method to finish the rings. Fast, great finish and easy.

Well, that worked much better than my previous tries. 26ga SS, 3mm, .5 ohms. Needs tidying up and better centering but, I'm happy with it.

Morning! Caught up on now 40 pages of banter and pics. Beautiful batch folks. Congrats! And nice work Bee!

I have two in the next batch. Don't ask me why right now I chose to do two at once, cause I'm wondering, or my pocketbook is wondering, this myself.

Did I get greedy? Did I worry about the deeming apocalypse? I don't recall now!

Can't wait to see the magic unfold though!

This is going to be interesting! I look forward to seeing the new mods in "dozen batch" #12

so, just a little "whazzup at the bee thing" . ..

I'm doing a wee wittow group of Nutcases this week. And it should take just that long. And then I'll launch into batch12 Pinches/Nutter (basically, month of Oct.). I also took on a little repair job that has blossomed into a full-grown-horse of a repair job. Which is great, fine. But it's going to take a couple days of my schedule too.

 

[X-Puppy]

"Little" repair jobs always start that way don't they!

I find with age they seem to take longer too.

I think once the sun comes out here (hopefully sometime this next week) I need to make a video of this... I was just saying to a friend on here that it's kinda like when you're out hiking in some amazing place, and you have the feeling that you can't take it all in. Like your eyes just aren't big enough... that's sort of how I feel when I look at my Pinch.

Aw! That's awesome!

It's beautiful !

 

[pdib]

one of the many good facets of my job. ↑

I can say that after about a month, I get to know them pretty well. And then first application of finish is like a magic show.

That is the best way to describe it, that I have ever read!

Take a lot more photo's, then go look at them. You will see patterns in the photo's that you did not notice when in hand.

Hmm, wondering why the AW series of batteries got bumped from the 18650 category.

 

[distortoblotto]

The temptation to buy a lathe just got much stronger.

Yes indeed.
