For many years I've carved a stylized mark of my initials into many of my carvings and turnings and often thought of trying to make a hot branding iron so no golf today as it's persisting down, a couple of hours to spare some brass rod, threaded rod and scrap beech and this is what I came up...
Is there sucha thing? Yes there is.
To follow on the last kitless request and wanting to know how to make one.
This is a pen done today of a "simple kitless" yes, basically all it is is a piece of acrylic, drilled out and tapped, then turned down and threaded.
Turned using a pin chuck made...
Does Anyone know where i can buy small threaded inserts and threaded rods to add clips to my kitless pens
A UK supplier would be great. I have tried most model making suppliers.
Folks
I have just received a Joyner "off-center" jig with 2MT. I need to make a draw bar using 1/4x20 threaded rod. Does anybody know the metric equivalent that I need to purchase please?
I *think* it's M6x1 but want to be sure.
Thanks!
I'm on the lookout for some nice blanks for custom pens and I was wondering, has anyone here threaded Yunstone and was it okay being threaded? :thinks:
