Absolutely Incredible Doc.
Brilliant Concept and Execution.
The Joint of the Cap of the Pen, is almost Imperceptible. Your Join is so Perfect.
Fantastic Machining, Treading, Construction of the Nose Cone,and Metal Finishing of the Brass.
Stunning Craftsmanship, my Friend.

While I always appreciated the skill involved in making these bolt pens, I never really cared for the result.

I really like the resulting pen on this one - not sure what you did that was different than others I've seen - bit it worked and it worked well. Congrats!

I put this on my bucket list the first time I seen the steel bolt pen skiprat posted, thinking I would love to try someday when I get a metal lathe. I never gave brass a thought until now. Looks great! Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you all for your kind comments and encoragement.
In answer to a question, the the cap threads are 12.0 X0.8 triple lead.
I used carbide drill bits but HSS would do well also.
Kind Regards,
Doc

Yikes, it looks perfect! Good job!

 

[Parrain]

I am blown away by this pen... (bowing with much waving of arms!)

 

[Artpick]

That's a cool pen
Great job

 

[Rolandranch]

Very cool! I have a question. How many bolts does it take to make one pen?

Great looking pen. One to be really proud of. Where did you obtain the 12.0X0.8 triple lead taps and dies. I know nothing from metric. I'm an imperial kind of guy.

Les, I got mine during a group buy. They do have a current group buy in the works.

Seth, Thank you. Depends on the length of the bolt and size of the pen you want to make. I used two bolts for this pen.
Regards, Doc
