New-Pen-To-Be

[cnirenberg]

It's not a pen, well not yet at least. I wanted to see what this would look like and here's what I got. To all the designers in the house (yes you're included), what do you think about the dimensions and style? I'm not sayin' it's original, it's a gift to someone......All comments and critiques accepted.

As you well know, I'm no designer but, that looks cool. Would you like for me to make that for you?:biggrin: Joking!!!! When can we expect to see the finished product? :biggrin:

Very cool design. One change i would make is make the end only have 1 tenon since it looks like a friction fit.

I prefer 5.0245 myself and .570 for the cap diameter. That keeps it about 9/16 with a lower diameter closer to .513 or even down to .500

Chuck when you get your lathe cleaned up and running, I will send you the other drawing with all the dimensions on it. Lets see those DRO's in action.

James,
The cap will post on the end with the same threads as the front section. I haven't gotten to the friction fit level yet, but thanks.

That's good.... I like it, it also will somewhat eliminate the little 'ridge' beteen the barrel and the threads to the cap. PS thanks for the advise on the pancake compressor. Did the HF coupon thing and got it for father's day for cheap. I have blown up 2 volleyballs, 1 tire and dusted off the lathe. Nice addition.
