Here's the latest. Brass with stabilized B/W ebony, acrylic cap and cz finial. C&C welcome and appreciated. (I think that this one has too much taper)
Looks nice. Are you cutting down the brass part with the threads and using it for the cap or cutting your own threads in the cap?
Thanks Mark! I do appreciate constructive criticism. I'm learning and hope to improve the designs as I go. It's helpful to get feedback. Yes, I did the top finial like that on purpose but do think you are right that it would look cleaner without the shoulder. I'll either make another one or do it on that he next. i think it will help to bury the clip a bit also. Are you thinking that if the cap was more V shaped it would improve the look?
Patrick,
I like what you are doing with the RAWs ... keep on innovating ! . I may have some questions for you in due course because I intend to do something similar.
Regarding the threads ... I suspect 9.83 mm is nominally 10 mm ... and the pitch could be 1 mm or 0.8 mm ... I don't have one at hand to measure. I stand to be corrected. . Having said that, the threads may not be "V-threads" ... probably are not.
