section

Hi Guys Does any one know what the thread sizes are for the Pratchet nib section and the Click section. I bought a number of these kits when they first came to market. I have made up a number of them only to find I can not screw the nib section on or I can not screw the click part in. I have at...

Afternoon, A bit bigger pen this time, turned from a Erinoid blank called St Elmo's Fire, sporting a Bock #5 gold plate nib (F). A very slight barrel taper and a tiny step between the cap and barrel. Still playing with the ratios! Capped length: 147.33mm Uncapped length: 138.43mm Barrel...

Evening all, A simple pen featuring Krinite copper pearl with a Rose Gold Bock nib. (#5 F). Reminiscent of the setting sun, the blank is stunning, the rose gold nib completing the whole. Capped length: 136.33mm Uncapped length: 1126.43mm Barrel diameter: 12.23 - 11.58mm Section length: 26.37mm...

Just a variation on a theme. I used Dibond sheeting at the ends of the segmented section.

Afternoon, A touch of spring on this cold and stormy day (at least here in the UK). Bed Sitter acrylic with Sage Green section. Capped : 142mm Uncapped : 132mm Section min : 9.54 mm Barrel diameter - 14.74 mm Bock #5 nib. Single start M13 x 1 and M10 x 1 As ever critiques please. Thanks Chriscb

My friend visited me in Wales last weekend and we went to the Wales v New Zealand game. He's a Kiwi, and suffice to say he was happier with there result than I was. Whilst he was here we made this pen together, and we called it "The All Black". It's made from vintage black cellulose and has...

I have mentioned a few times about the challenge of using slim stock, namely vintage cellulose tubes that are very narrow and pre-drilled. In order to use this material for the barrel, section and the cap I went down the route of making a pen where the cap screws onto the end of the section...

Hi pen people. A bit of a one-off this, and I’ll keep this pen. As I continue working on a design to make the most of the thin vintage cellulose I have, I decided to make a pen with a sleeved wooden section. In other words the internals of the section are ebonite (in this case) and the outside...

Hello pen people I’ve managed to acquire quite a lot of vintage (I overuse that word) cellulose acetate stock. I know some of you will be familiar with it and it’s lovely stuff. However there is a small problem in that it comes round and drilled, and the outside diameter is already very close...

Afternoon, Me - I've been experimenting with kitless (spell checker keeps on correcting that to witless.... premonition perhaps:wink:) pens. Here are my first two real attempts at complete pens. The acrylic is Shockwave with an Ebonite section, #6 Bock nib. Closed length 145mm Section 23mm...

After just over a year of pen making using acrylics, I stuck to my 2021 resolution and finally made one from wood. Well... almost... This is stabilised Maple Burl that was dyed purple during the stabilisation process. (Sorry to the purists on here, but baby steps and all that). I know it is...

I nice piece of Mallee burr from Phil to make this one. Size 5 Bock nib. I went with a 12mm cap thread on this one to give it a go with 10mm section thread. I will be going for a slimmer version next time as my confidence grows.

Just wanted to take the plainness off a bit of corian on a slimline. So incorporated a piece of acrylic to the bottom section also this gets away from the wasp waist. On finishing it the wife nice ladies pen,think she's spot on. On a slimline the corian is not to heavy so my do a couple of more...

If I am totally honest we had a couple of practice jobs between number 9 and this one but it was worth it as I think this has come out really well. my best work yet. It's Beaufort Black Ebony Alternative and I have gone with the same material for the section, previously I have been using the...

Hey all. In my quest for "thinness" today I tried turning a blank with some new dimensions. Normally I thread the barrel to M16 on the outside, tapped to M12 on the inside, cap to M16 to attach to the barrel, the section has to be drilled 7.3mm to take the proprietary bock tap with an M12...

Number 9 came out this weekend, basically a clone of the one I made for my wife, number 8, but trying to take on board some of the feedback on the shape and form of the pen. This one is for a colleague's wife and my first commission, although I am doing it at cost, well, 78p labour to round it...

Hi All, thank you for all the comments recently. I have tried to incorporate your advise including tapered section and insert threads into this pen. I wanted to add a red band around the section but ran out of red blanks, trying and failing to cut very thin thread against a thin wall so had...

Anybody know the thread size of kit pens nibs and the thread used on the nib section to attach it to the body of the pen. :scratch_head:

First time I have turned Yew. My neighbor removed a very old Yew and I got the trunk pieces. Cut one section into 65 pen blanks. I have always been impressed with the Yew you all make.

Is it just me but every time I look in the for sale section it seems that it mainly is people selling pen blanks on a very regular basis. Should these be in the section "Sellers Forums"? Are these people just taking the mickey and jumping on Phil Dart kind nature. OK I got out of the bed the...
