Beaufort Refillable Rollerballs

[ffkappele]

I had seen the item on the Beaufort Ink website, but it didn't click until I saw one in the wild by Jason Robinson at Blankwerks at the Mid-atlantic Turners Expo this year, and then it was cemented when @Chriscb sent me a couple in the PITH this year. I picked up the new tap and broke out my measuring tools to figure out the specs....and here are my first couple attempts. I haven't finished the second pen but my oldest daughter claimed the blue/green one...lol. Turning it isn't too much different than a normal section, but there isn't as many drill bits required. I used a 6mm for the threads, a 7 mm for the very front of the section as well as where the converter or cartridge goes into, and a 6.7mm for the middle portion of the section. I'm still playing with the overall shape. Comments or ideas are always welcomed. Thanks again @Chriscb for the chrome rollerballs!

I've been using them for a while, I've attached a copy of the specs and a couple of my earlier designs I tried.
