Basically there is no difference in making a fountain pen to any other apart from the fact that you always have two blanks to contend with. With regards to the Omega you have to be careful when you are pressing the parts together because you can damage the thread on nib end as it is very thin. I believe Dan has come up with a solution to this and I know Jim has !!!:thumbs:
