Thank you Ash.

Well after a lot of research and taking into account all the extra tools and material needed for starting kitless pens I have just bought a 14x1.0 normal tap and die set also a tap for the section 10x1mm from Beaufort ink. I have also bought nylon rod to make a mandrel for the barrel and cap.


So what section can I use for my first kitless pen I have to admit I've not looked and the section available in the m10x1mm thread.


I did check on Beaufort ink if hybrid blanks are suitable for threading and they say not?? why I thought Hybrid was wood and pressure epoxy so very stable and has resin running through out the blank so it shouldn't break down when cutting a thread on it ??


So I hope to be cutting and making some mandrels over the weekend
