Made my first kitless fountain pen today

[Scry]

Cap and body made of diamond cast 'emerald city,' section made of ebonite, using a #5 JoWo EF nib. Threads are m12x.8 for cap and body, and finial, m9x.75 for the section. Made it postable too!

I would have been very proud if my first kitless had turned out like that! Well done.

Thank you!! I'm super pleased with how well it turned out considering I eyeballed every single measurement.

It's a Jr size clip I got off of turners warehouse for a dollar. There's no actual name for it, it seems.

"I eyeballed every single measurement", now that's just showing off . Seriously though, that's a really nice pen, especially for a first try at kitless. I was thinking about giving kitless a try sometime soon but now that I know how high the bar is, I will probably rethink that...

You should totally try it out! You never know how it will turn out! (Pun intended )

Very nice. Is the top of the cap threaded, glued, or attached in some other way?

It's threaded with the same threads I used for the cap and body
