    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!

    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!
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    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.

    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).
