Nothing spectacular for blanks but something simple with a little color. Attachments IMG_3979 [207597].jpg 119.1 KB · Views: 403 IMG_3980 [207598].jpg 106.7 KB · Views: 331

C chet0213 Member Joined Oct 13, 2015 Messages 48 Location Richmond Va. Dec 15, 2015 #9 I used 10 x .75 for the section and 14x1 for the cap. Lesson learned that about 4-6 mm will give enough threads so I don't have to turn 4 times to get the cap off!
