I have been pursuing this hobby of pen making for last about eight months and it is captivating. I have made some pens using kits and some kit-less few as well. I follow almost all pens posted here in IAP. Understood that making a kit-less pen comes in the more advanced pen-making.
One point however fascinates me, I have not come across any posting of a custom Kit-less where the nib and feeder are made by the same person instead of one set made in the factory. The nib does make up a large part of the final character of the pen and its appeal.
Why is it so difficult that only factories make nibs and feeders ?
Are there any resources for learning to make nibs and feeders ? Well just a thought. Please could some one guide us?
Best regards
