This is how I made a pen with manual transmission. Mechanical Drawings & Tools I Use - www.maker-b.com Thank you for watching :) I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Instagram: / makrr_b #manualtransmission #pen
Big thank you for your wonderful and supportive comments!! I am pleased to hear that you guys would love to buy this, but I’m not sure if this one is for sale because I’m not sure if I can make many. Again, I truly appreciate all of the requests! Mechanical Drawings & Tools I Use - www.maker-b.com
No pressure. Simply watching this being made was amazing. If you do find a way to mass produce it, make a follow up video. If not, I’d be wondering if there would be any simpler way that a layman could make with semi obtainable intems (in other words a simpler way to make the same general concept). This was all a ton of awesomeness overall, and you earned yourself a sub!
@@markf.9396 it's ultimately down to preference. Some, including me, would enjoy to hear about the whole process, including the difficulties and innovations that might have come within, as such documentation could aid others in either replication or general performance in this field. Others do understandably prefer the pure assembly, presumably due to a relaxing effect it boasts
Here the whole process : 1) You imagine the stuff 2) You draw it - preferably make a CaD 3D model to test the mobility of the part 3) You plan the machining - I think part of it can be automated nowaday, but it's not too hard anywah 4) You do the machining 5) Assembly - better think about that part during the design, or you will get stumped !
car enthusiasts would love it, art lovers would value it, a writer would treasure it and anyone owning it would brag about it and I can't tell you how cool it looks, I mean a copper and steel manual transmission pen.?? Sold.!!
Insane skills in everything Design Machining Polishing Sound Cinematography Editing Beautiful work of art and video to show to the world Im truly in awe
If we had these in our school days all you'd hear in class would be click, click, click, with those lucky enough to own one making car noises. And our metal shop teachers would of been in ore by your masterful lathe work & engineering skills on such a unique work of art !!
Забавно, но как раз таки в школе у меня была подобная ручка - на 8 паст разного цвета. Переключение производилось путем опускания кнопки нужного цвета - к ней прикреплялась паста. Чтобы вернуть в исходное состояние, нажималась любая другая кнопка, после чего ручка вставала на "нейтралку". Была из пластмассы правда, и корпус долно не прожил - треснул снизу, а также в районе резьбы крепления одной части ручки к другой - сверху. Для справки, мне больше 30 лет уже) Кстати говоря, писать было жутко неудобно. А вот у одного из учителей я видел версию на три пасты - чёрная, синяя и красная, ручка вполне сопоставима с обычной при этом. Вот это - идеал.
Yeah problem is the market for pens (particularly with a manual gear shift) is dieing out. There will come a time when people who actually have writing skills will be the same as people who know how to change manual gears in a car….. none
@@iamthebroker I keep getting told I have dysgraphia just because I never practiced handwriting, only typing. I think I could be better at handwriting if I cared, but I never really did
Those things were pretty hopeless once the novelty wore off. I remember having one of those 12 or 24 colour ones where most of the refills ran out before I could even use them!!! 🤣
Eraser for reverse is smart, I like it. Idea: each gear gets a larger size (0.5mm for first, 0.7mm for second, 1mm for 3rd) to represent denser burnout tracks with more ink.
Let’s give some props to the video production here. It was as good as the machine work! If I had one of these back in Jr. H.S., when multicolour pens were the rage, my simulated V8 noises would have drowned out the clicking of the shift mechanism followed by me being kicked out of class.
i wouldn't say this is practical at all for writing but being a work of art and a great gift for car guys as well as mechanics, with the bonus of it being a functional pen this is an amazing idea.
I was expecting a single color pen with a clever gear-shift like mechanism, and I got a 6 "color" full on gear box pen ! The machining is incredible, I would be stressing out having to manually machine brass that thin.
@@QuakeGamerROTMG listen man i love manuals too, both the project car and my daily that i own are manual. but you have to admit, for the daily average a to b guy, automatics are more practical. theyre less likely to be broken by the driver, and ultimately are safer since they will focus more on the road.
Couple years ago someone asked me to make 0.5 thread on m5 bolt and i was like nope ,there is no way for me to make it,i cant even see it let alone sharpen a knife for it on a bench grinder.Your work is amazing you do precise things on a small lathe -i guess size sometimes really matters and bigger isn't always the best !
Get a diamond flat face wheel for your bench grinder, they'll allow you to get extremely precise cutting surfaces on your thread cutter, I've sharpened some fine enough to cut .1mm threads.
@@TheExplosiveGuy, very interested in how you got that diamond wheel to run true. Is your grinder one that was built for sharpening, with high precision angular contact bearings and precisely machined arbor? If it was an ordinary bench grinder, I would be satisfied to learn your technique to mount a flange that does not run out axially! Thanks, and all the best.
@@leehaelters6182 It was a bench grinder I had at work, and yeah it was one made for sharpening carbide tooling, I suppose I didn't consider the difficulty of mounting one of those diamond wheels to a standard bench grinder, you would probably have to have a custom made flange built to eliminate any runout in the wheel, something that could be shimmed true and made to tight tolerances.
@@TheExplosiveGuy, thanks for your thoughts, I think that I will have to muddle along, stoning, twisting and shifting components to find the least runout, and save my pennies for a true sharpening rig. Again, best to you!
I was watching this and thinking of how cool it would be if this was a throwback to the old color-selector pens with each gear being a color, and then sure enough. This was thought out well in advance lol. Amazing.
@@TheStupidRuski it is... somehow, when you shift, it does like 50% of the mechanism automatic, it does not need a clutch, and if you need one, you tap one gear to go to neutral
You're an insane machinist and I love your work. I have the Sherline machinist book and your work is in par with the show-off projects in that book. Well done.
The best part about this pen is that no one under the age of 50 can steal it. They have only ever operated automatic pens, meaning they won't know how to walk away with it. A perfect gift for that one old person in your life.
This is absurd, when I started watching I thought it would be a gimmick then saw the clutch and imagined it would be a clever mechanism to switch the gears but you're telling me it ACTUALLY works as a way to change colors? Are you f-ing kidding me? Mind blown.
Absolutely wonderful! And so creative😢. This one deserves to be sold for at least $5000. This is a work of intelligence, originality, art and amazing engineering. You're a genius, man!
Putting aside the metalwork (which is absolutely sublime), can I also just marvel at the creativity to think of this, and the ingenuity to come up with the design itself? This is amazing, and please let us know if you ever decide to make it available for sale!
Got a bunch of drifting buddies I would IMMEDIATELY gift this too if it were a sellable product. The craftmanship, the shifting, the ERASER ON REVERSE, like....it's beautiful
