    Default Flat top Ebonite pen

    Hi all,
    I present you the flat top version of my Bonita model.
    The pen is hand made entirely, the only parts manufactured are the nib and the converter.
    The Ebonite is from SEM, Marbled Cumberland and Black 1920 for the nib section and the screw section.
    Feel free to check my work at, facebook.com/Penteohandmade
    Regards,
    Teo

    No, I don't make them, I buy the standard nib.
    It is funny because 2 days ago I was thinking to make my own nib housing in ebonite and ordered the tooling for it, perhaps it's a good idea to make the feed also. I'll do some research to see what it's needed.

    You can buy better made feeds.

    I think a better challenge for your skill and creativity to enhance your pens with more interesting filling system than cartridge/converter or eye-dropper.

    The Chilton pneumatic filler in particular is simple, elegant and I think it suit the style of your pens:



    Just an idea.

    Yes, this system it's very appealing. I'm working now on a shut-off valve prototype. Once finished I will apply my knowledge with this plunger system.
    Thanks for the hint.
