Last week i was asking about threading Bakelite. I was making a Fathers day gift and wanted something special. Well the threading didnt work out, so i took the advice of a few others around here and decided to make an insert for the body threads. Its an Ebonite insert that has a tenon on the end and is recessed 1/4 inch in the body. If you look closely on the body you can just see it through the transparency of the Bakelite. I didnt want to thread this insert because i didnt want to see the threads of that through the body. This one slid in nice and easy and is glued in. The front section is the second section i have made. It is made out of Ebonite as well. I am very happy with this pen and think that it is my best yet. This pen is also the thinnest i have done at right around .55 inches in diameter.
Still not happy with my pics. They do not do this pen justice!
So this was his fathers day gift yesterday.
All comments welcome
Thanks for looking
