Hello! I asked my wife to stop at woodcraft today and pick me up a couple Euro kits and some micromesh. She called me from the parking lot and said that she had bought something for me to make for her -- A Fountain Pen! I told her to go back inside, show the kit to the man at the counter, and ask him to get her the right bushing set, so now I'm the proud owner of one American Classic Fountain Pen kit and a set of bushings. Of course I don't have the drill bits yet, but I've also go until mid-January to finish this pen.
What have I gotten myself into? I've turned a Euro at the woodcraft class, a slimline on my own, and I turned my first "solo" Euro today, but i screwed up the nib end (doh!) and may pitch the barrel (my goal is to have 4 Euro's done before we leave for xmas vacation as presents for my dad, father-in-law, stepfather-in-law, and grandfather-in-law).
Are there any gotchas that I should be aware of that I won't get from the woodcraft instruction sheet?
thanks!
