Many have wanted to learn to make kitless pens. Many have succeeded. There have been some who, like you, prefer to learn hands on. I am one of those, and was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. And, was able to make several visits, to learn more. If you are unable to find someone to show you about the process, the tutorials, and videos will be the next best thing. It takes time. Lots of time! Many steps involved, just to make a cap, barrel, and section. If you want to add a clip, and finial there are more steps. Adding bands to your cap...more steps. Some of these, you may teach yourself to achieve. These things are what you will need, to make your pens look like art. Just my opinion! Hands on, is a great way to learn. In my opinion, the teachers are few, and far apart.
I wish you the best of luck in your ambition. And urge you and others to do the research. Watch the videos, and soak up all you can. And if a tutor comes along, great!
I am amazed at the number of videos that are out there since I learned how to make my first kitless pen. Someone even put a new word on the label! (I guess not so new now) Bespoke!! Guess that means it's special. :biggrin:
Anyway... sorry for rambling on. Best of luck...again :wink:
