dude that is SICK!!!!!!!! I love it!! Does the bullet thread onto the section inside?
Thanks Seamus! No threads on the bullet itself. I made a bit of a relief shelf inside the neck for the bullet to sit on while capped. Held on by friction.
I think SICK is an understatement there Seamus. What I want to say isn't fit for public posting :biggrin:
So the bullet tip cap is longer than what we see when it's capped. Are there actually threads in there or does it press fit?
I'll have to show it to you next time we hang out. I don't want to give away to much just yet. Besides, now that it's been posted publicly I'm sure there will be a kit version out in 6mo or less
........very nice. Looks like Lake City Brass! Appears to me to be a press fit as I do not see external threads on the section. Bummer..no clip..LOL. It would be great for a desk or tribute pen. Just bit bulky for a carry pen. Well done Jonathon!....Jan
Thanks Jan. Oh this is strictly a desk pen. Definitely not something you want to carry around in your pocket all day!
Very cool Jonathon, I am suprised that after showing it off any where that you still have it, that it didn't grow legs and walk off.
Mike
Thanks Mike! It was really fun to show it to everyone. Most people picked it up just to see the engraving and had no clue it was a pen (which is what I wanted!) until I told them to take the bullet out. The look on their faces was priceless :biggrin:
So THIS is the project you were talking about. Very NICE!
I've never seen anything like it.
Even though you got what you wanted I still think I got the better end of the swap. I got blanks from Jonathan Brooks! :biggrin:
Anyone that buys or swaps with Jonathan knows he is very generous. He sent me some beautiful, uncommon and rare blanks in return. And much more than I expected.
Thank you Delbert! It couldn't have happened without your help. I saw we both got a great deal!
That is incredible Jonathon!! A friend at work just asked me if I knew anyone who was making a fountain pen out of a single casing. What a great pen. Tremendous work. Your work amazes me.
Thanks Mike! If there's enough time in the day when you come out maybe we can squeeze one of these into everything else we have planned to do.
Awesome work Jonathon. Glad I could push you. Might as well just get a bigger pen holder so I can just steal them all at once.
Thanks Buddy! I'm sure this will be left unguarded for an undetermined length of time when you get back stateside. Besides...it's not like I put the Air Force emblem on there :wink:
