PITH from Timebandit floored my Tukkus

[toddlajoie]

Timebandit (aka Justin) has gone above and beyond in his work on this years PITH. The Pen I received is an absolutely fantastic kitless fountain pen made from a great piece of Norfolk Island Pine, with a beautiful knot (my neighbor thought it was a rose..., he may be the only person I ever show this to, only because I trust he will not try and steal it, I do not trust my wife that much, so she's going to have to be happy with my description of it to her, and letting her know it is hidden under armed guard and lock and key, maybe even a laser alarm...)

Hopefully I will get some better photos when I get in to work...

NICE job, Justin!!!

ElGrande???

That knot had to pose some interesting turning issues--well done!

 

[Timebandit]

Nope....full kitless! No tubes in there:biggrin:.......custom Ebonite front section with a heritance feed and nib..... and the segments are Ebonite as well

Thanks ED

EDIT:The knot was a little hard so i had to slow down for it and it also went all the way through to the other side so there is actually two knots:biggrin:, but nothing to daring

NICE job, Justin!!!

I was going to ask what the black segments were, the threading is flawless, and the thickness between the internal and external threads scares the hell out of me...

I've been blissfully slapping kits together and thinking they were fantastic, now I'm going to have to go and read all those threads about the group tap and die buys....
