Kitless oops

[Carl Fisher]

Was going about my happy little way on this kitless rollerball working on turning the finial down when a catch ruined my efforts. Sheared off the front threads :frown:

Oh well, at least the front section and half turned finial are salvageable and I hadn't started the cap yet so we'll just chalk it up to an oops and move on.

I smell what you're cooking, that must have been a big disappointment. I like your grip section. How does that feel when writing, since the nib is at such a different angle with the rollerball insert, compared to a fountain pen nib?

 

[Carl Fisher]

Not sure yet. This is the first time I've built a pen around these rollerball sections.

If I manage a complete pen I'll let you know

Been there done that.
