Kitless is what I have been wanting to achieve since I started making pens last year.....almost there!
My nibs and bits turned up from IPD last week (thanks...speedy delivery) and I've spent the last few days making holders etc. And now I've made this.
Parted off the main body, and the nipple broke the wrong way and left a hole in the end so I had to plug it...shame.
Not happy with the cap thread....M12x0.75 single start. I'm going to have to invest in a triple start set.....too many turns of the cap to take it on and off. The finial is unscrewable but I ended up using a M10x1 as the 9x.75 was a bit sloppy.
Please give as many criticisms as you can as I want to get this right.....cheers.
No reflection on you guys but I'm also going to post on another forum so I can get more ideas.
