Finely after 70 years and almost 20 years of pen making, I have made a true kitless pen. Oh, I have pulled the cartrages out of Bic pens and turned wooden blanks to make pens in the past, but this is my first tapped and threaded pen. I started with a Molten Bronze blank, and a set of fine, and broad calligraphy nibs. Since a calligraphy pen is usualy longer than a normal pen, I made the cap end longer, threaded the other end of the nib, and turned a finial to protect the threads. Now the cap can be posted to the back of the nib end, and makes it a longer pen. Any regular nib or roller ball could also be threaded into this end. This old dog learned some new tricks, but it took a lot of treats to get it close to right. Jim S
