Really nice. Did you use one of those capless (or whatever they're called) mandrels?

Good job !
Beautiful wood.

Love it! Do you mind sharing thread size?

Great job!
You could even leave the center band in the bag too...

 

[lefyldepens]

It was my first go
I made a DIY mandel that needs some improvement

I kept the middle thread bit as I haven't the tools to create thread

I meant you could turn down the part of the center band that you can see when the pen is capped, keeping the threaded part. This way you see only wood when the cap is on.

Pierre, I was thinking of doing that, I have just obtained a dremel so going to remove band on a future pen

To do a screw fit on a kitless pen is expensive and difficult. It would be handy to be able to buy separate the cap screw and pen screw to fit into pen

But ..... if you remove that metal, you will destroy the continuity of the plating .....

..... unless you lengthen the barrel a little bit to cover the area of metal removal.

Hmmmm .....

How about using the female plastic cap thread (that comes with the kit) by making a hole large enough so that it fits snugly into the cap? WoopsI see that was suggested already. Sorry.

Very Nice
