No, I'm not being modest. I haven't had much time to experiment with this between school, work, and other pen projects. I don't remember what tap and what die I used, but this is the first time I used both on the same piece. My problem is getting pieces to fit together, I just need to figure out the math. I'll get it eventually!

Not too much math involved for a school person just need to draw yourself a plan so you don't get lost when turning the pieces.

There may not be much math involved, but when you're doing something from scratch, all the decisions are yours, and even with something that seems minor can have an effect on the final product. So take your time & think it through. It's supposed to be fun. I always say that right after I blow up a blank. :biggrin:
 
If its not fun (or a way to fuel the turning fund) I do somthing else, that's why progress is slow here :eek::biggrin: I'm going to try to get a pen done over Christmas break.

Is this in reference to the tap and die you are using???
If you are using a die, to match the tapped thread, is it adjustable???
You might need to tighten up the die to match the tap. This is the frustrating part of this hobby, setting up, so things go together easily.
