Two more new ones...

[bgray]

Here's a couple of new ones.

Again, manual cut threads on the section cap and barrel...no taps, dies, or kit parts.

First is an eyedropper with a blind cap. No cartridges of converters.

Lucite body, with and ebonite section and blind cap.

To fill the pen, you remove the section, and use an eyedropper to insert ink.

Replace the section, and then you unscrew the blind cap with the nib pointing into the inkwell. When the blind cap is loose enough to release the vacuum, then a couple of drips will come out of the pen. Tighten the blind cap, and then the pen is primed and ready to go without the nib creep that would occur with dipping the nib into the inkwell.





Next is another eyedropper, but without the blind cap.




Thanks for looking.

very nice work. I like the lower one best, but they are both beautiful.

These are awesome. I wish you would share your Technique for turning threads by hand.

If you check out any machinist's handbook, you'll see how to cut single lead threads.

The difficult part is cutting quad lead threads for the cap and barrel.

You cut 4 internal cap threads, and they all have to be perfectly spaced from each other.

Then repeat the same procedure for the barrel.

Then guess what? They have to mate perfectly. If you're off by even .005", you're going to get sloppy threads.

Those are both exquisite.

I love the semi-transparent gray one. Did you create that yourself?


I don't even know where to begin with the threads...awesome work.
