Artemis Pen Kit
*Please note that the current cost of brass is extremely high so brass kits will not be restocked until the material cost comes back down*
The same great Artemis kit you know and love, now redesigned and improved for an even higher quality kit at a better price!
Improvements to the kit include:
- Triple start threads for an improved user experience.
- The cap insert has a machined air hole in it so that you will not get a trapped air pocket as you epoxy in the cap (an issue from version 1).
- Proudly made right here in the USA.
This high-quality pen kit gives you the creative freedom and look of a bespoke pen without needing expensive equipment to achieve it! Made with the finest 304 Stainless Steel & Lead-Free Brass, these pens will be sure to turn heads with your customers. The fountain pen variety comes with a Schmidt 452 nib (and both an ink cartridge and a converter) and features a larger section than the Apollo. The rollerball matches this section and comes with a Schmidt 5888 Refill.
Drill bits needed
-
27/64" and 1/2" for the cap (I highly recommend doing a test fit though. If your tailstock has slop, you may want to go down a size).
-
10mm, 21/64" (Previously called out as 5/16" but the converters seem to have gotten a touch bigger which is causing an issue) and 1/4" for the body.

The Artemis kit is the perfect mix of American made Steel and a well engineered and thought out design. Kate and her crew at Bullseye Turning Supplies have nailed it, dead center. If you've ever wanted to try your hand at creating an authentic custom made pen, this kit is the official gateway to doing so. The Artemis kit (and the Apollo kit as well) allow you to dip your toes into the world of creating a bespoke pen, without commiting to acquiring expensive taps, dye's & tooling required to do so. The kit comes nicely packaged, with detailed instructions that are concise, well written and super easy to follow, including solutions to common mistakes. The fact that this kit is 100% made in the USA and supports USA jobs, well, that's reason enough to try it out. What are you waiting for? Buy one and you'll see what I mean!
Awesome kits, bit of a challenge but absolutely phenomenal when you get it right. Had someone think it was a piece of dowel when I showed them.
I love the Artemis kit. It is a solid kit, and feels like a top quality pen in your hand. It always gets attention when I make one.
This was my first time turning a kit of this nature. The instructions were clear cut.,very easy to understand. The material, some of the highest quality I’ve worked with. I will be coming back to this product with no hesitation.
Really fun pen kit, clear instructions, Kate was wonderful to work with. Would highly recommend!
