Love it. What is the blank?
While the fit is perfect and the finish is even more perfect, the shape seems a little off to me. The whole thing ties together nicely though!
Nice indeed!
Obviously a tap and die set. May I ask what size you used?
Nice work Steven. I like the simple and elegant design. Difficult to remove all the fine scratches on the black acrylic but it looks like you were able to do it. What diameter size are the pen barrels? Thanks for sharing.

I think I can see where you are going with regard to the cap. My guess is you are thinking of making it the same OD as the body section.
If so, that is going to make the internal thread area mighty thin.
I'd leave it as is because.....practically every screw apart or snap apart pen has a larger diameter cap.
Making them the same, for me anyway, would invite numerous mistakes in thinking which end come off and you would be holding the cap end and starting to write with it. Yes, the pen end it is slightly longer, but not by much.:biggrin:

as a novice at kitless..not being argumentative but what is off?? That is one of the prettiest even flowing pens I've seen..normally I don't intervene when it comes to a componentless discussion but dang...that thar is beeeeuuutfuuulll...in the words of a wanna be robertson:redface::redface:
this was not my idea at the start but...things change
