Just easing into kitless (more accurately custom) pen making. I'm not into fountain pens and don't know a single person who uses them. I'm thinking rollerball / ballpoint and I have a couple in progress using a rollerball from a Vertex and even from a slim, (just testing the waters).

the clear plastic piece in the pic, that holds the ink, screws on to the threaded area it looks like. So you would turn a section that this nib would just slide in to, correct? Don't have any in hand, so is it sized for a typical sized drill bit? And also, I foresee a huge mess trying to fill this with an ink bottle used for fountain pens. What's the method for filling something like this without ending up with ink all over yourself?
