Here's a few nib twist slimline pens I built over the last 2 days, inspired by a pen Gary Nichols gave me last year. I never built one before so I thought I'd give some a try. They are upgraded to aluminum for lighter weight and sport some knurling action to make them easier to operate. Obviously..you twist the nib to engage the refill.

1 is a scrolled treble clef
2 is a purple glitter blank
3 is a red/purple crushed blank with a doodad on top
