Greetings all,
Just wanted to share some of the pens I have been working on as of late. Most were Christmas presents to family members. I posted these on The Fountain Pen Network already, so I apologize for the redundancy to anyone who may frequent those forums as well. All of these use Jowo #6 nibs, with a max body diameter of 14mm and cap diameter of 16mm. They utilize M14x.7 triple start threads, which I cut using 60 degree pointed tools on my lathe. I hope you enjoy them. All clips have been hand made as well. This is one of my newer endeavors to attempt to be less dependent on stock clips from kit pens. Thanks for looking!
Converter filler in a lovely Amber Tortoise acrylic with bronze clip and trim
Another pen in Amber Tortoise, essentially identical to the one above, except with a piston fill mechanism, which I made all the components for.
Converter filler in Lavender Garden acrylic with nickel silver hardware
Another piston fill pen, this time in Desert Ironwood with bronze trim. This one still has a little work left. Its going to get a bronze clip, and I need to repair a small spot where I chipped some CA glue off.
