Made my wife a kitless

[Brooks803]

Been playing around in the shop lately. Made this one for my wife. After she saw a box I made from the same blank I knew she'd like a pen done the same way. It's pretty short, approx 4 3/4" total length. Cap/body threads are 12x.8mm triple start and the section/finial threads are 9x.75mm. Cast the blank myself out of alumilite. The pics could have been better but now the battery's dead so I went with these. Thanks for looking!

Here's the box I based the blank from:

DON"T GIVE IT TO HER YET!!! Hold on to it until you get caught and need a wonderful gift to get out of the dog house, then present it to her wile looking at the floor saying "Sorry Honey, I won't do it again."

I'll bet Shea loves it!

Shea did love it. She's already got it inked up and writing away with it. Purple ink of course

Jonathon, beautiful pen. PR or Alumilite?

Thanks! This one was alumilite.

I looked at the title of your post and just had to find out how you made your "wife a kitless". I was a bit disappointed to see it was a pen, although it is nice.

Sorry to disappoint, but being in the "Show off your PENS" thread I didn't think I needed to add that tiny bit of info. Kitless is just a name for the variation I made.

 

[edicehouse]

Awesome pen, great swirls, match up, but would you expect anything less?

 

[biednick]

Man, that looks great. Will you ever start selling your alumilite blans through exotics like your pr blanks? Id love to do a kitless with some of your blanks, but every time I thread PR it just dosn't work out. I'd hate to ruin more of your blanks this way, just dosn't thread for me.

Good work Jonathon. I like the taper on the body.

That is one beautiful pen. That color combination is over the top.

There's a kit? Are there instructions too? :biggrin:

Thanks again everyone! She's been using it everyday since she got it. Writes great without needing to do much with the nib.
