Custom Tap

oh yeah! That's why I haven't heard from many people yet - most of the taps went to Canada or the UK. Der.

Have you gotten yours yet?

I've heard from a few of you.

Not me but then I think it will be at least another week or so.

Postman just delivered my tap also. Many thanks Shawn for the effort you put into the group buy, it's much appreciated.

Oh man I live on the same dam continent and I still don't have mine. Good thing I don't need it. Lol

Shipping to some spots in Canada is slower than to the UK or Australia for some reason.
Let me know in a week or two more if it still hasn't shown up.

This is a very old thread, but thought I'd jump in, anyway ...
1) did these taps work??
and,
2) does anyone have one of these taps they are no longer using .. or tired of? ;-)

I'd like to try and make some Esterbrook-type pens, as the nibs are pretty decent and many are still somewhat readily available.... and like like the size of both the J and SJs. Issue will be the peskey lever box ... or try and do the mods to make the converters work with the nibs.

Thanks,
Dennis

Yes. I think I've made 8 pens using it (and I'm currently working on one.)

Sorry -- in addition to Esterbrook Renew-points, I found a batch of old-stock Bock nib units designed for piston fillers using the same threads. It'll be a long time before I run out of things to do with this tap.

Somebody might have lost interest -- or you might find there's enough interest to justify organizing another group buy yourself.

Glad the tap is getting some use! I let mine go early on, pretty much as soon as I got my metal lathe and figured out how to cut my own threads.

Not that it matters but I also carry them in stock.
