Appleman Pens: October 2014
http://appleman-pens.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. Installing a converter into a Parker 51. I got this Parker 51 in a while ago that had the squeeze unit all mucked up. It looked like someone had taken a pair of pliers to it to squeeze it. The feeder tube was almost all gone as well. Howard at Bexley had done a new unit for these so you could use a cart. or a converter. I set this one up to use a converter that is sealed into the pen. All set to go. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Appleman Pens: September 2013
http://appleman-pens.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 21, 2013. Parker Ad pen mod. I got this pen the other say and decided that I wanted it to be a fountain pen not a roller ball so this is what I came up with. I have a lot of Esterbrook nibs so that is what I used in it. I also had to make up a new section as well to take the screw in nibs. Sunday, September 15, 2013. I have a real love hate relationship with Indian made pens. Now the down side is that most of them are ED fillers and they always seem to throw up at the worst of times.

Appleman Pens: Really Nice Blue Esty Nib Holder
http://appleman-pens.blogspot.com/2014/08/really-nice-blue-esty-nib-holder.html
Monday, August 18, 2014. Really Nice Blue Esty Nib Holder. I found this rod of blue yesterday when I was cleaning up as well as a stash of Esty nibs. I was trying out some filling systems and ended up making this little baby. The nib is a 1555 and it has a really nice ink flow to it. I set it up as a squeeze filler and it holds a lot of ink. Really good balance as well as the slip cap make for a really nice pen. Custom pen. Appleman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). It's been a while.

Appleman Pens: November 2013
http://appleman-pens.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 26, 2013. This was a tool that my wife wanted me to make up for her to hold her heat gun and small hot iron for her wax work. I am now going to build one to hold my Dremel on my work bench. We looked at buying one of these for her but looking at them they seemed to be really flimsy for what you were getting. So a few dollars at the hardware store a bit of welding and here is what I ended up with. PS I build better pens than I do welding. A good solid tool. Labels: dremel tool holder.

Appleman Pens: May 2015
http://appleman-pens.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. I had a request to turn a pocket blow gun into a pen so this is what I ended up with. I used a bit of ebonite to close off the top of the air hookup. You twist the pen to advance the Parker style refill. Labels: ball point pen. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). It's been a while. Cigar Box Pen Storage. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Appleman Pens: January 2014
http://appleman-pens.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 18, 2014. Blue Hard Rubber Click Pen. I found some really nice pens the other day. Now I love how these pens write with a .5 needle point on them but the body left a bit to be desired so this is what I came up with to house this really nice refill. I used some blue/black ebonite that I had and I was quite pleased at how it all turned out. Sunday, January 5, 2014. Orange Hard Rubber Pilot G2 Refill Holder. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Appleman Pens: A Tale Of Two Sections
http://appleman-pens.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-tale-of-two-sections.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. A Tale Of Two Sections. I had a couple sections floating around, a Cross and a Pilot. With a bit more vintage material I had on hand decided to make up a body to hold them both. This material is made by wrapping it around a rod so you have to deal with working a tube material. It is a bit hard to see but the end is a tortoise material and when it is held up to the light it is transparent. So depending on my mood I have a choice of two nibs to use. Labels: clip on cap.
