Take a BIC Round Stick...

Take a Bic Roundstic , add a nib unit from something like an Esterbrook or Sheaffer Fineline and something to plug the cap so the pen is  airtight.       Pull out the ball point refill and insert the nib unit.The nib unit has to be snug and you will need silicone grease. If the nib unit is loose you will have to make a sleeve, I used a section of plastic straw.     Fit it together to make sure it works. Then take it apart fill using eyedropper or syringe with your favourite ink and re insert the nib unit, , don't forget the silicone?   You are done.   The pen, filled with Blue ink     I made this one earlier, these pens take a ton of ink With the cap airtight they will not dry out for months or years. If you need more ink just repeat the earlier steps and refill pen.   They are a novelty and fun to use but if you know me you will say where is the bamboo? Thanks for reading,   Glenn
