The threads on this pen were done manually on the lathe. No taps or dies.

44 tpi internal section threads, 24 tpi external section threads, and then 36 tpi quad-lead threads on the cap and barrel.

The only parts that I didn't make are the nib and feed.

Thanks for looking.

I am usually not a NJGP kind of guy so...
Awesome work, fantastic fountain pen.:D

The photo and the work looks like it could have come from a magazine.

//Now explain exactly how you did the threading.//
On the metal lathe.

In your neck of the woods, check out New York Hamburger.

I don't know what NJGP is.

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
 
Brian,
I'm a huge fan of your work. Your craftsmanship is top notch. But this is my new favorite of your pens! Nakaya has some great pens and is another favorite of mine. You have done a great credit to them with your version of their picolo. Nicely done as usual, very impressive. Only wish I could see it in person.

Wow. I'm flattered. Thanks.
 
Absolutely stunning.....
Brian I'm a fairly new turner but I don't think I'll live long enough to becomed skilled enough to create something like that...
 
Ahh, Brian! I have been patiently waiting until you started doing your own threads! Excellent design choice for the first one out of the blocks! I want one! No, seriously! Watch for an E-Mail.

Scott.
 
I can tell all of you from first hand experience that Brian's work is ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, PERFECTION!!! I acquired one of his masterpiece's and it blew me away, great work again Brian;)
 
Seeing this beautiful pen prompted me to browse through your photo album. I really enjoyed looking at the images of your pens and admiring your craftsmanship. Thank you.
 
I'm not known to fawn all over someone's pen..... so I think it's best I say nothing and maintain that image.
 
That is the main reason I bought a metal lath. I would love to learn to do pens like that. But, I don't think I have the patients or the time to learn.

Gorgeous Pen, top notch craftsmanship.
