Here is my story of my day. A while back I was reading Don Wards tutorial on bullit pens and decided to make a few, so I ordered some slim lines from Wood and Whimsies. Today I went down to the local gun shop, a 15 mile trip to get some bullits and casings, forgetting that I live in the Socialist Republic of Ma., they couldn't sell them to me because I didn't have a FID card. It seems here in mass if you don't have one they can't sell you ammo or any component (spelling) of it. So I drove home and got the kid next door, who is a hunter to go with me, and buy them. I had to buy a whole box of bullits and bag of casings
cost $50.00 I know that is crazy.
When I finally got to my shop Thinking this was going to be ease. Put a bullit in the Beall collet and started drilling slow as soon as it reached the lead the bit pluged up back it out and going very slow again after maybe 20 min. finally got all the way through. I then turned the bullit around and started drilling the larger hole. I screwed that up and started all over, messed up 10 bullits, on the last one the bit got stuck and I loosen the collet and back off the tail stock reached down and grabbed the bullit stupid thing to do burn the crap out of my finger and thumb. I start swearing and cussing, the wife came down to see what was going on, I showed her my finger and thumb and all the screwed up bullits. She ask how much I spend on them told her $50.00, should have said not very much. All she said was I just paid your credit card for the kits and now you spend $50 more just to make a couple pens, your out of you mind. I wasn't about to tell her that I also paid for lunch.
Can someone tell me how to drill bullits?
