Wow Joe!!! I haven't gone kitless yet...severe lack of skills...but this really gets the heart pumpin'! Are you using triple start? What size tap and die? That blue resin is crazy!!! Big high 5!

[Billy Tallant]

Fantastic looking pens Joe!!! No wonder you have been busy. Those are simply amazing. I have not tried kitless yet, my skills are not there yet.

[Steve Busey]

Always top notch work Joe - well done! Those are some amazing blanks, too!

[Doug W Swanson]

Great looking pens, Joe. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the madreperleto roller ball. The clean lines really look nice! They are all beautiful, though!

[James Combs]

Wow Joe!!! I haven't gone kitless yet...severe lack of skills...but this really gets the heart pumpin'! Are you using triple start? What size tap and die? That blue resin is crazy!!! Big high 5!

What Jim said! WOW.

[Scott Lux]

Add another Wow! From me, and one from my wife. We both really like the amber lucit fountain pen. Just amazing.

[Bill Hensley]

Ditto on the Wow! I put those in the true craftsmanship category.

[Russell Eaton]

Joe I looked at these yesterday from my phone, and wanted to see them on the computer. They look fantastic! All of them.

[Tim Rinehart]

Joe, great to see your work posting again! I loved your work on kit pens and these really stand out. The amber lucite fountain...wow! The vintage cellulose acetate, and carbon fiber finial twist would be my other favorites...but all are very unique and with wonderful attention to detail! Sweet work Joe!

[Jim Underwood]

Man oh man... those are all winners. Not a dud in the bunch... I liked that amber lucite pen too... Pretty cool idea to show off the working parts inside.

[Jeff Myroup]

fantastic work!!!! I like the lucite the best. Truly exceptional work.

[Joe Aliperti]

Thanks for the nice words, everyone!


Wow Joe!!! I haven't gone kitless yet...severe lack of skills...but this really gets the heart pumpin'! Are you using triple start? What size tap and die? That blue resin is crazy!!! Big high 5!

Yeah, I have triple-start taps/dies in 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm. The blue resin, red/white/blue, and madreperlato rollerball are 12mm threads. The ebonite is 14mm. And the lucite is 10mm (non-triple start.... I made this one before I had the 10mm triple start tap/die set).
