All the wrong sizes for actual pen making... but I had some "scraps" laying and I just found the 10 euro tap and die set I bought years ago...
Tried it just to see if I could do it on a wood lathe with freehand tapping and threading.
Time to save up some real money for the correct sizes and quality... :D amd I need to figure out how much material I need to leave larger or smaller to accomodate the thread walls..
