Hi all, Its jameshj here. I would like to clear up a few points. Is it kitless or not. If by kitless you have make all parts of a PEN then it is not kitless as i bought the nib, feeder and housing. To me a kit pen is where you add wood, plastic and or metal. The design and fittings are supplied in the kit, and yes before there is back lash you can change the shap to some degree but basicly a slimline is a slimline. I have been turning pens for some 25, yes 25 years and the standard of kits have improved greatly over that time, but i thought it time to move on. So to me a kitless pen is one in which i make all the parts that I can without using any parts from a kit, or old pen parts!!
Pic 1. shows the parts I bought.
Pic 2. shows the parts I made ( i did not grow the wood,make the plastic or aluminum )
Pic 3. shows the KIT I use to make My Pens be they kitless or not.

PS GRUMPS the dog stays.
