Hello to all, first I want to say that I thoroughly enjoy the FPN with all the knowledge and willingness to help others it makes this a good place to be. Well, here is my first fountain pen. I enjoyed making it, the nib is from a kit the rest is some acrylic I had laying around the shop. I really enjoyed making it and I see more in the future. I have always wanted a FP with a snake clip so I'm working that now. Comments Welcome...
I,ve added a posted picture...

Beautiful pen! I love that color. So when does your custom pen business start shipping retail. biggrin.gif

Congratulations, and - being your first pen - very promising !
How is the cap joined to the barrel/section ?
Also, is there an O ring mounted on front of the section ?
Is there a filling system installed ?
Look forward to see more of your pens!

Thank You for your kind words. the pen is a cartridge pen, possibly an eyedroper when I get some silicone grease. Still new to the wonderful world of FP's. The cap is friction fit but my hand twitched one the finish cut and I had to add the O-ring to get a snug fit. What I should have done was install an insert in the cap. Oh well live and learn. Thanks again, Keith...
