Bolt action ball point

[jalbert]

Here is an interesting video I came across. I think that it's a good reminder that sometimes we just need to take a leap and jump into a project we have been curious about.

Very interesting !!!

ALL pen components made from either (rusted) steel bolt or from brass ....... including the NOOZLE (yes, I've got that right ... I checked ! )

Was particularly interested in the making of the clip and its attachment to the pen body. Also the ball knob for the bolt action mech.

Thanks for posting, John !!! .
At first I thought it was going to be you demonstrating how you had switched to a slightly different medium for creative expression !!!

Yea I question the use of material so prone to rust, but this can be applied to most any material. I see a lot of deliberating about having the "right" tools, material, drawings, jigs, etc, so I thought this would be good motivation to just get out there and try making something

Yes, those are very good points .... and the method is sometimes called "suck it and see"; ... or perhaps "fry it and try it" !

I often become elated by things I never expected to succeed.
