Desk standing, kitless, double closed end

[BradG]

This one turns a few heads. Designed to stand on it's end on the desk, decorated with light banding from head to toe.
The nib is a two tone custom ground German made, Jowo nib.

Brad this was a certain winner in the current competition mate. First man standing I figured it is magnetic attraction.

!!AMAZING WORK Brad!!
I have all the tools to do something like that
but it's gonna' take me a while to get anywhere near
what you've done.
Do you cut the threads on the lathe or do you have taps and dies?

 

[fortress]

a fantastic looking pen Brad, well done on your skill Sir.

It depends on the pen. Mostly, I use taps and dies (M10 x 0.75 & M12 x 0.75) Though I also cut external threads on the lathe if I want to avoid the thread relief, as you will tend to find a die won't be able to cut threads right up to a shoulder.


Thanks for the kind words all
