I can probably look a little deeper, but I figure this would be quicker...
I have been doing some you tubeing on making my first kitless pen. I have been turning pens for a while now and would like to venture into this for a while.
What do you usually shoot for for a cap design? The youtube video i saw had his cap very thin. It looked goos but turning that thin makes me nervous.
I would like to do a rollerball setup. What are the threads on those usually?
Also, do you guys use the threaded tool that come with the tap and die set? Why or why not?
And what threads do you use for everything else?
I definitely will start with a scrap piece before buying a nice blank.
Also can any blank be used for this? I love the look of the black and gold trustone but didnt know if that is to difficult to work with.
Im sure ill have more but these are the first few that came to mind.
TIA
