Bolt action pen, brass, hand forged damascus clip, by me.
This is my second “big” lathe project. I’m really very new at this and scrapped a few barrels in the process. C360 brass, damascus is random pattern 1080/15N20 scrap from another project, turned stainless slot head screw cap. I used an off the shelf M3 cap head screw for the bolt but I’ll probably remake that too. It’s just so tiny and I don’t have M3 dies or the patience to single point thread that small. The refill is my personal favorite pen, Zebra G-301 gel. This was fun, frustrating, and it’s still not perfect. I struggled with concentricity and that seam in the barrel is driving me nuts.
