Making BE6 fountain pens - part 1 - drilling & turning

Finally got around to put together the first part of how I am making my fountain pens - by not so popular demand, at the request of a few of my viewers.

So here is part 1... from a bird eye view... long and probably boring... sprinkled with some comments here and there trying to describe what I am doing.

In this part I am cutting the blanks, drilling, tapping, making threads and turning the raw shape of the fountain pen. Hope you will enjoy it, maybe get something out of it or at least, gives a good reason to take a nap :).

Part 2 will be about how I am sanding and polishing the parts to create the final product.
It is in the works and hopefully will come out soon as well... in a similar "exciting" tone :D.
