The nib continued...

Back in the collet and turned down to just shy of the barrel threads...about 11.6 mm.

Then reversed again and the front of the nib roughly shaped.

Here's the test fit photo that should have been at the end of my last post...

Then final shaping on a delrin mandrel...threaded for the nib section to screw onto. Cuts have to be very gentle...

Sanded and micromeshed and fitted to barrel...

Just the lid and final buffing to go!
