First kitless FP

[Mintman]

I still need to work the cap so that the clip fits below the finial but My dremel is in MI and I couldn't wait to post! The cap and barrel are a cappucino acrylc, the section is ebonite and the nib is a #5 Schmidt.

NICE!! one day maybe I will be able to do that.

 

[Jim15]

Great work.

 

[Mintman]

Thanks all! I'm excited to start another but probably won't get any shop time for the next couple of months. The joys of commuting between three states don't leave me a lot f time.

Great start!

I use a small file to fit the clip. In my hands a Dremel could do too much damage too quickly and possibly spoil the cap.

 

[Mintman]

Great idea! I need to get a decent set of mini files.

Nice work, that looks real good.

I need to find some time to give it a go as well.

Nice looking pen. I like that blank.

A great looking pen.

I am relatively new to pen turning and have made multiple kit pens with various levels of success, although I really want to get into kitless pens. My ambition is to make an ebonite (vintage style), pen but have no idea how to start. I know where to buy the ebonite but can you advise where can I buy the component parts (nibs, clips etc.).

Thanks

Great start. You're on your way.

 

[StuartCovey]

That looks great! I haven't quite got into kitless yet, but I love what you can do with them.

Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun making it.
