I made my first kitless pen. It was made using a cheap acrylic blank (don't want to waste to good stuff). It uses a Beaufort Ink refillable rollerball nib and international converter. Practised on a lot of acrylic offcuts from previous pens to get the threading right. I also had to make a few aluminium mandrels to hold cap, body and section for shaping as well as a tailstock tap and die holder for the threading.

This pen has a few flaws but I will keep at it and see how things improve. Loop

That looks great. You're more dedicated than I am. I went the easy route and bought my tap/die holders. I did make my own mandrels though. :)

Nice job on the clip.
