The recent group buy order is in, the taps and dies are being made; I bought the personal collection of previous group buy taps and dies from @SteveG , picked up some ebonite from @jick wu , grabbed a couple of custom alumilite rods from @Bob F and ordered a couple boxes of cutoffs from @McKenzie Penworks - so down the kitless rabbit hole I head. This should be a fun journey.

I present to you my first kitless pens...
A final design and size is still being worked on.... Ive found it more enjoyable to turn stock and make happy accidents rather than try and draw the perfect pen design and then replicate that on the lathe.

#1. All blue ebonite from a single rod. Fisher Space Pen Parker style refill.
