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!
