Today's Artisan Fountain Pen

[its_virgil]

Completed a pen today. The cap threads are M12x.8 TL. The most difficult part was making the section. I used a #6 JoWo. Maybe this pen needed a #5 nib. The section took 6 or 7 attempts before successfully completing one.
Total length: 6.014"
Cap length: 2.56"
Body length (no section): 3.63"
JoWo #6 nib
Cap threads: M12x.8 TL
Section threads" M10x1

Do a good turn daily!

Don I've found it is best when using 12x8 to use a #5 nib 9 x.75. That extra .5 mm on each side makes the section stronger so less breakage.

This is my 3rd using M12x.8 threads and I have come to that conclusion. I just need to get some #5 nib units and the proper tap. Thanks.
