my first kitless

[AurelianC]

On Tuesday I build up the courage to use my metal lathe (having a close call with a briar piece almost 1 year ago) and this is what I ended up with.
This is my first attempt at making kitless pen and so far I love it. I know I have a lot to learn but is a start.
I will change the finish to satin because now is slippery and is not so easy to write with (at least for me).

Pretty cool! Looks like it could be mistaken for anything when capped:biggrin:

Congrats on the kitless!!!

I really like this idea. Would be another step, but stick a clip in there, and might be even better. Or not.? Nice work!

You are wright it could be mistaken for anything. The guys at work did not know what it was the first time I show it.

Thank you for the nice words and also for the 6.5 X0.5 tap I used for the section. I did not get to use the triple start taps and dies but I promise I will use some of them this weekend.

There will be one with a clip in the future but I like the minimalist look on this one. Thank you for the appreciation.
