'Simplicity' mark 2

[drgoretex]

I must say, this 'simplicity' design just keeps coming back to me - something about it really appeals to me.

Anyhow, here is another version of this design, in the same rust and black acrylic as I used on one of the pens I previously posted, but with a custom nib section to match the rest of the pen. It is posing here with a lovely 18k Meister nib.

Thanks for looking!

That is a cool/elegant/clean looking pen. I like the squared ends on it everything looks perfect. Even the threads are clean.

I love the simple design! But the simple part stops with the profile and the skill of your kitless work takes over. Absolutely amazing and inspiring! I wishfully look forward to achieving that level of advanced pen making. Thanks so much for showing particularly with the awesome photography. Regards, Doc

Ken,
I'm a big fan of this pen. I love the acrylic and the pics are terrific. They really show off the goods.

This is where I want to be kitless. Beautiful job through and through.

Now that's a classic. Nice lines and very well executed.

Amazing work! Someday I would like to be able to make a pen like that. Clean and beautiful. Thanks for sharing it - the photos are fantastic. I would also like to know what you are using to do your thread work.

Thanks for the kind words!

Lorbay and Martin - The threading was done on my wood lathe (not powered ) with tap and die.

Cheers

Is this a triple start thread? Can you give a little more detail about the tap and die set? Thanks

Martin - no, not triple start...yet. Waiting for the group buy to finish

The pens I have been doing lately were done mostly with M10 x 1 and 1/2" 28 tpi.
