Hi from Australia. I'm a hobby woodworker that does a little bit of wood turning for fun. After making pens for family members as Christmas presents one year, I seem to get fairly regular requests from friends of family, friends of friends of family, friends of friends of friends of .... to buy a custom pen.
I stumbled on your forum looking for information on making kitless pens and where to buy suitable and reasonably priced tap and dies for this. I was also looking for advice on high quality nibs for fountain pens. I haven't been entirely satisfied with the quality of many pen kits, so would like to have a go making some from scratch. It looks like your forum has a wealth of information and experienced makers. Hope I can make some contribution.
