The Traveler Pen Version 2

(1/2) > >>

dfurlano:
This took a while to do but I finally got it done.  I took a few quick shots.  Sterling Sliver and ebonite with blackwood and pommelle.

I engraved all the pieces.  The compass, clip and center band say "To travel hopefully" from Robert L Stevenson's "To travel hopefully is a better thing then to arrive"

 

Chaoticone:
Nice work.  :)

Maybe they shouldn't be called traveler pens. Many airlines would consider them as weapons nowdays.
How much do you plan on selling them for ?
What machine process do you use to engrave around the lid. Hand or machine?
What do your machines look like ? It would be good to see a few pics of the pens while been made!

I want one :)

dfurlano:
I have not thought about a price as of yet.  Only because I need to optimize the time it takes to make one.  I use a 4 axis Grizzly mini mill that I retrofitted to go all the cutting and engraving.  I enameled the compass engraving.  Next setup i will take some photos.

As for not taking pens on a plane these are the ones that WILL get taken if you carry them on board:

This is a cartridge pen that I have been working on the design for a while.  I am now "happy" with the clip which I make from a casing, Also it is a real pain to solder the clip to the top casing.  These brass casings are thin and not made of the best materials.  They tend to pit when heating them up.
