Alright, so I posted a few days ago about some prep I was doing on fountain pens, and I am finally satisfied, and have myself an official design.
I call this the SC Barrel (company name is Smith Crafters)
It appears to be one solid "rod" of high polished material(currently casting my own alumilite blanks but would like to use some metal later) Approximate measurements are 0.6" outside diameter and 5.75" length.
I turn the cap and body together as one solid piece after thread it, so that it will look as if it's one solid piece when the cap is on. I also sand it together for a flawless transition between cap and body.
I am currently using some cheap nibs and feeders I found online to get the I tial process over with. I will be using nibs and feeders and converters from Meister Nib.
Currently using coarse threads, and I think I'll keep it that way. I kind of like them. Maybe a future pen design will have some fine threads.
Well enough talking about it. Here it is.

Tell me what y'all think please. Down to the tiniest details. I want to hear what the rest of you have to say.
