Do it! It took me a while, but after seeing all of these beautiful pens that everyone else was making, I finally jumped in as well...

Nice shape to this pen, Lynn! Beautiful finish. I worked some of the Amedeo blue resin a couple months ago and liked it too. Kind of unusual in that it has no translucency or iridescence, but it has a nice soft, smooth, warm feel, kind of like ebonite. Good work!
 
Thanks Everyone. John you should start custom work, just do your research first. I have never had so much fun making pens. Thank you Doc, I appreciate those words coming from such an artist as yourself.

Many thanks for your encouragement!

After Glycerine's post I started immediately![FONT=&quot][/FONT]

I've made/machined the 8.3 x 0.75 mm tap for the housing to section which works!!! and the housing/fits screws nicely into the section blank and accepts the refillable ink reservoir.

As the Tutorial says I've got a pen of sorts already - I just need to jazz it up a bit - shouldn't take too long.

I've almost finished the other 2 special taps including the triple start 12 x 0.75 x 2.25 lead - hopefully this will work as well.

I'll post up my success, or otherwise, hopefully soon.

Kindest regards,
John

Picteres of the 8.3 Tap I made

Pictures of the Jig I made to mill the flutes on the 8.3 x 0.75 tap and the completed case hardened and tempered tap itself.

Wow ... you made your own taps? That's very impressive! (If you make extras and offer them for sale, I'd be interested.)

I love the blank, and you've done wonderful things with it to make a pen that looks superb ... makes me want to reach into the monitor and start writing with it.
