Kinda nice is right! Looks like youre just a little micromesh away from a spectacular pen. Your learning curve is astounding.

edit) I really like the shape on that one.

Thanks! I actually tried a little on the finish with this one.

As for the shape - I wanted a bit more taper in the cap but other things came up and finished a bit short of that goal. Painted the bathroom today. Ugh. Stinky nasty paint.

Thanks! I've got a long way to go though -- least it feels that way. I keep making little mistake and my technique is still lacking - but I'm getting there.

Your initial progress is terrific! You're an inspiration to anyone who's waiting to jump into kitless pens. Well done.

Great job.

Great shape, grab some steel wool and buff this pen and leave it as a "matte" finish and get on the next one.

Thanks!
I really want to get some of the kit parts so I can turn clutch and mechanical pencils, RBs and BPs for people. I'll need to save up some pennies first. :biggrin:
