Thanks Guys.
I didnt even think about the contests running when I posted the pics.
I would need better photos to really show it at its best, I am just using a little automatic Cannon, and the photos arn't quite in focus.
This one went good, i drilled in stages, starting at about 3/16" .
On an earlier pen I did, which was my first pen with brass, I tried to drill in one go, it separated on the segments, but I have found drilling in steps with sharp drills seems to be OK.
Looks good Brad!
With drilling a segment blank i turn the blank round between centers then wrap the blank with string then drown it with thin super glue ca then let it dry,doing this will end all your blow outs,hemp or butcher string,check the 2 dollar shops, i use the string from an old water filter it's strong and good stuff,:wink::biggrin:
