kitless fountain pen

[davidj44]

A while since I posted anything. This is my first kitless fountain pen. Acrylic "ice cube crush honey" from Snainton. Nib from Bock. It takes a cartidge or a converter. I continue to learn!

I like this very much David, the shape to the nib area is good and so is the overall shape of the pen .. Well done my friend ..

Nicely done David. What pen clip have you used???

Is it my eyes?
I would love to see some better pics of what looks like an absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship.

Thanks for all the nice words! Clips from Vincent at Turners Workshop. Telling you how I did it? Could be a long story - basically a lot of research and a fair bit of trial and error to suit the particular parts. If you are really keen to know I'd have to sit down and work it out. Maybe later. Again thanks to all of you.

Superbly made pen ,well done.
What size thread is did you use.?

 

[davidj44]

Thanks for the ego boost from Oz! Cap to barrel thread is 12mm x 0.75 single start - I can't justify the expense of triple start tap and die - the section to barrel is 9mm x 0.75. The nib and feed are Bock 5. The next pen is on the way, there may be more photos in a couple of weeks.
