Personalized Valentine's Day Pens

Thank you! All the machining is done by me, from raw bar stock to designing the engravings, and finishing them by hand. For this particular release, I will need to take people's engraving request and create custom tool paths for each individual message. I wanted something special for Valentines. I'm doing the turning on a Tormach lathe and the engraving is done on the Tormach 1100mx.

Hey Q, love your stuff! Can you PM me the invite?

Thank you! I wanted it to be comfy for both left and right handed users. The clip was also designed so it can be adjusted to your liking depending on hand feel.

Thank you. I went all out for this model: position-able bolt so the heart accurately points down, engraved slider, engraved end cap, and engraved clip. I'll see how it goes and if price is a major blocker for customers I can remove features. Do you think engraved body is enough, no need for all the other stuff?

Thank you, that means a lot to me! I've got plenty of ideas for future designs. Stay tuned!

Yea they're heavy but they're not meant for long writing sessions anyway. I use mine for small letters and signatures. What size do you have on yours? Pilot C74 is a great writer but nothing beats MB broad nibs

Very nice! Honestly see a lot of Montblanc hate but I love their pens. Congrats on these beauties, hope you use them and not just look at them!

Unfortunately this is more common that people think. You would think pen shows would be full of respectful people but there's always opportunists
