Doc, This is a very nicely executed pen. Exceptional finish on your blank as well! :biggrin:
I just recently e-mailed David concering the cap and thread issue, but have not heard back as of yet. I think he made be out "fishing" again. I advised him of this link here on the Forum. Maybe he will reply here as well.
Fred,
I've done one previous Roman Harvest Pen in Amboyna and had to adapt/stretch the tube to get my Churchill/Cambridge bushings to fit. As a result, with that pen, I thought the thread problem may have been due to the coupler being slightly off when it was inserted.
I waited to make this pen until after I got the right size bushings from David. Everything went together smoothly until I started to screw the cap on at even the slightest angle. At this point, I think that Steven aka Skip is right about needing the additional plastic threading and support at the coupler. I really like this pen and it has potential. I'm hoping we can get some feedback from David. Doc
Hi Guys.
I wish I was out fishing. I am currently in Hong Kong waiting for a flight back to Sydney, I will be back in Sydney on Tuesday morning (Sydney time). For the last 7 days I have been in Taiwan/Mainland China and Vietnam sourcing new pen kits and new ranges of product to sell.
Having serious communication problems in China and Vietnam because all internet communications is getting filtered. I can't send email with my email program because of filtering. All emails from these countries have to go through "approved servers" which I refuse to use. Our STMP servers are also rejecting my email that I send because all emails being sent for overseas is block due to spamming reasons.
I will call Taiwan tomorrow about getting new plastic threads and sleeves to prevent this from happening.
Also good news guys, I have ordered some new "Blingless kits". I can reveal the secret and photos of these kits once I have them ready for sale.
Fred : how did you send the email? I have not received your email, can you please send it through again.
Regards
David
