First of all I apologize for the poor picture, but photography is not my strong point. I have been trying to go kitless and had a few pieces of aluminum left over in the garage. I am not crazy about he high gloss finish, you can seen scratches already on it. I have typically do a foil type finish with aluminum. I used a finer thread 1/2 x 36 for the cap, and am not quite sold on it. The pen will only fit a small cartridge like the kind sold with the El Grande, but fits the hand ok. Let me know what you think.
Ok. Here is the updated finish (?) This is what I typically do to all the Aluminum I turn. Just turn smooth and used a dremel attachement and stippled the piece. I think I'm going to use this method for ceterbands and barrel extensions, since I can't seem to get a full size pen out of a standard length blank. Let me know what you think.
