"orange" Pen Makers Choice blank from CSUSA
12m x 0.75 cap thread
9m x 0.75 section thread
5mm medium Bock nib & feed
I used texatdurango's tutorial on making the section, but I made a couple of mistakes:
1. I either ran the drill bit too far in the front to allow the feed assembly - or I stripped the threads at the back - so the feed housing wants to come out. I'll either have to remake the section or put a drop of CA on it to keep it in place.
2. the ink cartridges I have will not fit in the back of the section - and if I try to drill or ream that hole any larger, the section to body threads will be very thin.
it was fun - I'm ready to do another one!
C&C welcome!
