Almost 2 months ago, u/Silent_Amphibian_922 started showin' some fun writing instruments. These bolt-action writing instruments had either unibody barrels, or two metals would get brazed together, which looked neat.
Was able to talk with him and find out he was able to make a few, and whatcha see is the brass with white copper (copper & nickel alloy) tip and a larger design made of a Copper Chromium Zirconium alloy. It was fun to follow his process, and he was learning some stuff along with the way. For instance, one time, he mentioned what he was up to: >"I'm still busy with building a furnace for aging the chromium copper for maximum hardness. According to the internet if I do it right, it will be somewhere around the hardness of mild steel."
That was fun. Anyway, props to the Silent_Amphibian_922 for creating these 2! 👊👌😎
Makes sense the master pen librarian has his hands on these! Nice man. Let us know how they are
Was busy after I posted this, so I kinda sucked at replyin' immediately. Will see if I can get some replies in here as well. Quick take - these are really well-made and have a nice weight to 'em. For the first 1s he wanted to sell, they're pretty awesome creations!
I do have more impressions over yonder, if that helps. 😎
Today I learned that NPD doesn't stand for Narcissistic Personality Disorder
🤣. Thanks for pointing that out
😆 Google says it means New Pen Day 💡
Kick out google let's go with yours!! 🤣
Agreed!
Is that some well-known abbreviation?
In certain circles... Not among us, of course.
Oh, thank goodness 😁
Nice taper
Yep, really well-done - streamlined, yet not just a Retro1951 Tornado-like cone... More images elsewhere, fwiw 👌
The encyclopaedia rightly pointing things- keep us looped on how it actually works out. A cool review is awaited!!
Not really much of a review, yet made another post w/ more deets.
Yeah, i meant hoping you post a full review soon. Cool for another post, will check it out!
Oh, not much of a reviewer, as my opinions are subjective & I'm not great at bein' unbiased. Everydaycommentary is a great example and I'm not as consistent in my views. 🤷♂️
Aren't we all subjective in a way! As long as one is sharing what they think and share it works. Nah don't be unbiased. Thanks
'anks for the encouragement - might think about putting 1 together 👌
You must, sharing experiences is fun among enthusiasts like us. WC
Digging the one on top. They’re both pretty sick though
u/Silent_Amphibian_922 is makin' some nice 1s!
Keep me posted on these please!
Added some more shots there, at least. Otherwise, you can see what else he's posted as well 👊
Do tell. How are the pens?
I like 'em, & as these were the 1st 1s he's made, he's also got plans to make improvements as well. 😎
I hope you'll be satisfied with them! These were the very first that I thought are good enough for sale. Spent some days to refine them. Let me know if you find any questions!
I think these are great, thank you! I love the workmanship and all that you've done to make them work smoothly. Will vouch for ya if anyone needs to see it! 👏👊😎
