Sterling silver and ebonite

[AbleSnail]

More photographic milestones behind me.
This time, pens, of course, made of ebonite and sterling silver. Various nibs – either Jowo or Bock.

Superb artistry! I love the metalwork, and your threads are very clean - well done.

Beautiful pens! And I like the box as well. Did you make that too?

Very nice!

Holy cow, those threads are CLEAN!

Also, I have a beginner question, if you don't mind - I am wondering if you polish the threads and if so, how do you polish them? I have recently discovered that alumilite does not make very nice feeling threads at all if you only use a tap and die. I have never tried ebonite, but I'll be ordering some soon, and also I am getting a metal lathe soon. I assume you must have a metal lathe in order to make threads that good, and acme (?) threads as well

Edit - actually I just found your Youtube video on how to make an ebonite pen! I have seen it before, but somehow I didn't connect the two! In that video you're using taps and dies though, and the threads look significantly different than they do now?

Can you say more on how you did the threads? Thanks
