Hi. I quickly made some resin last night, so I could go back into trying to complete a kitless pen today since I, for once, have enough time.
I have had 3-4 goes at it in the past that ended either in disaster or the creation the most ugly looking pens. :-(
You may note that the section is a little bit in a dodgy state. This was again my attempt to engrave something on the section using a new Chinese laser engraver for the first time some weeks ago. Obviously the settings for the laser were not quite right. It was not part of design
I did not have a clip for this prototype.
It is 5.5 inches long with a cap of of 2.3 inches and a barrel including the section and the nib of 4.7inches.
The section comes from an El-Grande with a tweaked nib.
I do have some question: Are the sizes acceptable for this fountain pen. Also I have seen some amazing pens here and some had a ring, and I wonder how folks insert a ring on the cap.. I just can't figure out how you can do that. Finally is the thread OK?
Many thanks
