My second freehand pen

[Old Lar]

I just got some pictures of my second freehand (kitless) pen. The first was done, but really bad. This one only took 3 bodies and 2 caps to get the threads right. My section is a little rough but done. I will probably replace it down the line. I used a 3/8x24 tap and die on the section and body. I had tried a 10m on the first two and ended up breaking them. This one works better for some reason.
Comments welcome.

what material is that? Beautiful!

And great job on your second pen!

 

[OOPS]

I think you have a very impressive result for your second pen. I particularly like how it looks with the cap on. Smooth lines, and a nice design. Did you pour that blank yourself?

Thanks, it was a home brew blank that I was fortunate enough to have made three. Used them all before I finished the pen.

Nice going Larry. Nice shape to the pen, and a nice finish.

very nice Larry and I feel your pain. I have a pile of sections and bodies from the "training" of my first.

Very nice. I have tools heading to the house now. I hope I can master the Kitless

You'll do fine. Just go over all the steps in your head and have some doodles with measurements that you want before you start.

Have fun!
