I spent my weekend working on this pen set. It is a M200 ballpoint and fountain pen.
A little bit of history on this set. I have a good friend who has taken on his own to make me the best custom pen person there is. I say on his own because I sure was sure not around when this vote was taken.
It always starts out the same little smile and a twinkle in his eye and the words "I have something to show you".
Nothing is ever anything that I can say "no problem" to at all because there is always some little twist that takes it from a very quick and easy to what the heck, I have to think in this for a while.
This set was one of those. I have done lots of the 200 fountain pen binde but I have never worked on a ball point and my biggest fear is having to hand a customer back a bag of pen pieces and saying whoops.
I have had this set on my bench for I would say 3 months now because I was afraid to get it on to the lathe.
Well today was the day. I would have a great looking pen or a pile of parts.
Happy to report I don't have a bag of parts to return to my customer.
So I have to say thank you for always making me think outside the box.
