First kitless pen

[jeporter02]

My first foray into the kitless realm. Blank is "Zion National Park" from Hobble Creek Craftsman out of Utah. Bock #5 nib. Weighs 19 grams without ink (do you weigh your pen with or without ink?). I forgot to take a picture but it is postable.

More lessons learned than I can begin to count. Loved making this. I'm already planning my next kitless pen. The move to kitless coincides with an actual move to Sweden, where turning supplies are largely non-existent, so it's nice to not have to rely entirely on kit suppliers.

Very nice looking, great job! I believe most sources typically weigh their pens empty. I've never weighed mine though. Enjoy the move. I haven't been to Sweden yet, but it's on the list. Cheers!

Nice looking pen. I weigh my pens with the nib in, and no converter or ink.
Next we'll have to get you adding a clip. Once you make your own clips, your design window will open dramatically.
