Welcome back to the machine shop! This video I’ll be tackling a project I’ve wanted to revisit for 8 years; a bolt action copper pen. I manually machined a custom pen years ago as a Christmas gift for my father-in-law and have been itching to make one for myself. While I was able to find the old prints I threw together back then, I’ll start at the drafting board and put together proper engineering drawings. The will be made from both 110 copper and 410 stainless steel, with a few button head screws, and a nice ballpoint pen ink cartridge thrown in the mix. Most of the work will be done on the manual lathe, though I do get to visit the vertical milling machine and try out the rotary table chuck adapter I spent 3 long videos building. The final part of the pen will be a stainless steel clip that I’ll use a ball peen hammer to work harden before forming into its final shape. Enjoy!

@@thachester Given the hellscape that is licencing and updates and other computer trouble, pen and paper may be faster than CAD again.

@MrMeasaftw Год назад

@@MazeFrame Strongly disagree on the fast part. No matter how fast you can draw with a pencil. Modelling software will always be faster. However, drawing by hand does do something that CAD lacks. It forces you to think more intentionally about every line you draw and every dimension you put down on the paper. Ive noticed that with CAD I find myself roughing out a part withing literal seconds. And then spending a significant amount of time trying to fine tune it.

@thegamingender6933 Год назад

It's amazing on how you hand-made all the drafts in a professional manner. Most novices in the world of Advanced Manufacturing(myself included!) only learn dimetric sketching(some also learn trimetric sketching), most blueprints used are created via design programs(like Solidworks). I'll definitely stick around to see more. I may be more experienced in computer-based design, and claim it is in most cases better, I'll still enjoy it.

@InheritanceMachining Год назад

Thanks. Yeah I've used CAD (SW, Inventor, Creo) for school and work for like the last 15 years. While CAD is definitely faster for me, I just enjoy breaking away from the screen for the shop projects. I'm lucky to have had 4 years of drafting in high school

@valoeghese Год назад

@JohnDlugosz 10 месяцев назад

Ah, the younger generations don't learn all the original skills. Back in the day, CAD was the exotic beast that experienced draftsmen and machinists didn't know how to use without special training. Oh, and AutoCAD was not something you just picked up figured out! Oh, but the workstations had these cool X-Y input devices that had like a phone number pad on the back rather than just left/right buttons. Not entirely direct GUI manipulation, you had to enter commands and point to where you wanted to draw, as well.

I'm from Argentina, and I go to a technical school and this year i've started building a brass pen. The thing is that they made us draw the pen from an already drawn pen and it's parts, but I just realized that it came from here, and I can't believe it. They do lots of projects like this at my school, but it makes sense now because they told me that they've started making these pens this year. I make lots of draws in Autocad and my teacher gave me the task to modify the drawing in order to use the terms of technical draw that we use here in Argentina (for example, instead of using inches we use millimeters, etc.). I have been watching your channel from quite a long time, and i'm really proud of you and your work! (new subscriber)

@chefboiarby304 Год назад

The cool part is that the copper is antimicrobial and it will develop a unique patina as a result from the oils on your skin. If you end up not liking the patina, you can always polish it off and make the pen look brand new (a brass pen will also have these same features due to the similar properties of both metals). With the right technique, you may even be able to "shipwreck" the copper (forcing copper corrosion in order to develop a unique turquoise pattern for aesthetic purposes which is usually then preserved by a sealant or clear protective coating). I have two bolt action pens in my collection so far. I own a Bastion bolt action pen which is a blue coated aluminum (it is rather bulky, but I like the feeling of extra robustness) and a copper version of the Refyne bolt action pen (way more compact and fancier then the Bastion pen making it an excellent choice as part of a gentleman's EDC). Both of these bolt action pens have various price and material options (the Bastion pen has tons of size, material, and color options as well as a similar line of mechanical pencils) which all take standard Parker Jotter cartridges. I carry the Bastion pen with me almost everywhere I go and I usually have a Fisher Space Bullet Pen (matte black version with matching clip), Tombow Airpress, or Victorinox Swisscard Classic (has a mini blue ink pressurized pen as part of the tool set) to accompany it. I save the Refyne for fancier occasions or for when I need a slightly more compact option to fit in the pocket.

Nice Project and well executed! What i only like more from the original draw is the "J" slot. It's reversed so the the bolt lever in rest position don't interfere when you slide the clip into a pocket. I think also if you give more angle of the clip towards the barrell, so that when you screw into place the clip will touch and give a little tension against the barrell, It would be finished better and It would help to secure firmly the pen into a pocket without risking dropping it if you lean forward. Can't wait to see your next videos!

You could have possibly have drilled from the opposite face. Knock out the centre drill tip and then plug your extra hole with a tight plug of the same copper? PS little tip on that style of centre drill.. don't remove the tip section as you dill. Just use a micro lift as you peck/ break swarf. Problem is if you lift the nose above the work every so often swarf will fall in and you can tear the tip off. Yes lube well. Was my secret technique!

I am an absolute fan of the old school, hand drafting. Reminds me of my time in college using nearly the same setup. A quick recommendation, when using the drafting pencil it is a good habit to spin the pencil as you are drawing your lines. This keeps the lead”graphite” at a constant point, rather than having your most consistent drawing edge become flat and giving unwanted think lines or darker edges. You may know this already, just noticed it when you were drafting your plans so thought I’d pass it along. Great work!

This is super neat. I don't necessarily want to think about how much the machining labor would cost to have this kind of thing made for me, but it's neat :)

As a 25yo who hasn't learned cad/cam In happy to see work done like this. I'm an outlier in my age bracket at most shops but hey, still get my jobs done.

@matthewbartley2746 Год назад

Found this channel just a few days ago. My dad was a machinist for 23 years. He passed away in 2015. So many regrets never making the time to have him pass these skills down to me. I hope to be able to soon begin assembling my own machining supplies, and getting a start down the path. For my own curiosity and interests and in a little way, to retain a piece of the old man I no longer have around.

@InheritanceMachining Год назад

So sorry about that, man. I'm glad you are willing to find your own way into this trade despite that. Good luck

This is amazing, I would totally buy a pen like that, it reminds me of a company called Tactile Turn based in texas that makes a similar pen out of different metals like titanium and zirconium

@neon-john Год назад

As a nuclear engineer, I'd love one made of zirconium, the metal that nuclear fuel is encapsulated in.

@michaellu6900 Год назад

Thanks to your comment I went and ordered a pen from tactile turn, man am I bad with money at 3am.

How does their design do refills?

@James-fs4rn Год назад

👍A spot drill as opposed to a cdrill can save a some headaches. I use stub length drills for everything unless I need the extra length and don't spot or cdrill. Most things are accurate enough that way. A small carbide mill would have gotten the broken tip out. Looks great.

@InheritanceMachining Год назад

Thanks for tips. Unfortunately I didn't have anything carbide that small on hand... so remaking was faster than ordering and waiting!

I came up with a pretty similar design a few years ago during my apprenticeship, but mine is made from titanium. It was one of my favourite little projects back then

This was the video that I initially saw in my feed that brought me to this channel. I'm watching it for probably the third or fourth time now, and I have to say I respect the absolute power move of saying "No Henry, I don't want it back" and then placing down version 2.0 next to the original 😂 The stark contrast of improvment in both skill and tooling just makes me laugh every time. ❤

Great story, great build and a well deserved treat for yourself, kids and G-Kids! Nice Arrow Heads BTW, I always had trouble with consistency on those. Tough materials to work with, especially with tolerances and 2-56's but you pulled it off in your usual aplomb and excellence and who doesn't love 2-56 button heads. Kind of looked like a Parker insert¿ I imagine the weight is real nice and balance better now. Not sure I have the tools for this but am now on my 4th Yasumoto quad point in ~4 decades and obviously love them for their trick mechanism, weight, balance, 3 colors and pencil. Your vids are a real treat in every sense...Thank You for your time, really good story telling and the quality you bring to the community! ~PJ

Another amazing project, quality as always. It looked to me like the bolt is too close to the clip though for the clip to function at its best. Looks like it would get caught on your pocket.
