This is the one I've been working on this week. Doesn't look like most of a work week to you? The pen only took about six hours. The metal work took about three days. (In all fairness, that time includes making a couple of the parts twice because sometimes I do foolish things. The learning curve for jewelry-making has been more like a vertical line for me.) This one features 12mm cap threads and a Bock #5 italic steel nib (1.1 mm). I hope to test it today...and I think I am going to treat the pen to Beaufort Roasted Red!

Not foolish things, major initiative improvements. ?
