Your best (and probably only) bet is The Pen Turner's Bible by Richard Kleinhenz available here:
https://www.amazon.com/Pen-Turners-...=1514844411&sr=8-1&keywords=richard+kleinhenz
Of course you'll find lots of stuff on IAP as well, but this is the primary book source with a couple of step by step kitless pens to make. The book has lots of chapters on kit modifications, mistake recovery, etc. Well worth owning.

Just picked it up based on the recommendation. Great book. I've only been turning for a few years and wish I'd picked this up earlier for some of the more technical approaches.
The kitless chapters are based on metal lathes but still very helpful to me.

Also check out Steve4948 on YouTube. He has a really nice video on making a kit less pen on a wood lathe. Don't think he's posted anything for a few years but he's got some good stuff. You might enjoy some of his Toastmasters presentations as well. Funny guy.
