    Been machining 25 years and never thought to put a small drill up to catch bits im parting off, nice tip.

    Nice design and build. I especially like that you didn't drown out the great machining sounds with awful YT musak! I do have one concern, however, Most pens have a vent in them so that the ink will flow, rather than becoming vacuum-locked as the refill empties. Has this become an issue in your design, and if so, have you thought of a design feature to account for it?

    I like the video. You did a great job with the tool you have and videowise. But I think you should comment on your project over the course of the video. Machining project involve some craftmanship and knowledge that viewers like to know. Like why you decide to partoff the holding section of the pen of in the vise instead of directly on the late or the problems you incountered when you had to face the part while the part was hanging to long. All of that will engage the viewer in your project and make them comment so you will have more visibility on YT. Anyway keep the good work!

    Sooner or later a viewer is going to chastise you for not covering the ways while sanding. For the record, it wasn't me.😋 😉
    That pen is too heavy for what it's used for but you can easily modify or make another to use as a Scribe in the shop. Another handy tool to make is a little Colette Pen Chuck. They're handy for holding small drill bits and taps. When making miniature objects it's always handy to have small tools to gain that tactile interface with the part. Best of luck and have fun! 🤗

      To be honest when I initially assembled the pen it felt really heavy and I thought about re making it in aluminium but after I turned the taper and drilled out for the ink cartridge it was surprisingly light.

    • @cdrive5757
      @cdrive5757 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@makeormend8450 You can also replace the ink cartridge with a solid, close fitting steel pin. Uh ... I think I'm hung up on that shop scribe? 😋 Actually, no matter what you make it all chalks up to gaining more machining time in the shop. That's always a good thing. Gaining proficiency = SATISFACTION! 👍👍👍

    Very nice project. As a few others have suggested, some more captions or narration would be nice, so you can explain what you are doing and _why_ you're doing it. Pass on your valuable experience to those of us wanting to learn!
    One thing I wonder about, is there a spring or feature which makes sure that the pen refill is fully pressed "up" in the tip section of the pen? Or, does this design depend on the deep hole drilled into the back section to be _exactly_ the correct depth for the refill being used? In other words, does that back end of the pen "bottom out" in the deep hole in the rear section?

    • @makeormend8450
      @makeormend8450  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This was a very simple design and there was no spring mechanism included. As you say the cartridge bottoms out in the hole. The cartridge can always be cut to length or shimmed at the bottom of the hole if it isn’t initially a good fit.

    • @makeormend8450
      @makeormend8450  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The tap I used in the video was an M6 x 1 H6 “spiral flute” tap. I can’t remember the exact brand but if you search for spiral flute it will come up. I made the tap wrench myself but you can buy them online.

      How much will you be willing to pay for a pen like that? How long did it take the maker to make it?

      Unless a mass production, sale price for time invested in producing this, buyer would not be willing to pay.

    • @makeormend8450

      Around 5-6 hours I reckon although a lot of that was set up time like changing the feed rate and setting the taper angle.
