I really like the graphic in the bottom corner with the step you're on highlighted. Never seen that before and I think it's an excellent idea. I was bummed to see that Frank Hoose's channel is no longer - seems it was removed in July 2024. I'm thinking about mini lathes and learning. If anyone has any alternate suggestions, that'd be appreciated. I've been a long time BlondiHacks follower, and have learned a ton there (that I haven't put into practice yet). It's always nice to have additional references.
Thank you! I was hoping to reduce confusion as much as possible with the highlights, I'm glad it proved to be helpful. That really is too bad Frank's channel is gone, I learned so many core skills there. BlondiHacks is awesome. You've probably seen mrpete222 (tubalcain), he has a huge amount of tremendously helpful videos. This Old Tony also has excellent content with a good dose of clever humor. There are definitely others but those are who I most frequently watch. Thanks again for watching and for the comment!
The dimension isn't in the schematic because I planned on eyeballing it by rounding the tip with a file, but my cheap files were too dull so I abandoned that idea. I resorted to cutting an angle on the lathe which was much easier. The angle was 10 degrees if memory serves.
Sure thing! Check out the video's description, I just added a link where you can download the schematics. If you have any issues send me your email at Project.Infinity153@gmail.com and I can send them to you directly.
@@mpmccurry Most machine shops would be able to make them no problem, but they'd likely charge by the hour which would be quite expensive. Maybe an online machine shop? The designs are not CAD but should contain all the info they need to machine it. I wish I had the time to make them for you, happy you like them so much!
Not typically but is there something specific you'd like to see? I made the channel to follow the projects I'm currently working on, and I try to share what I learn along the way. Unfortunately my time is quite limited at the moment, but if your request is something I've been wanting or planning to make I could potentially do it sooner
Ok I liked the brass/ aluminum pen you did. Where I work we use the g2 pens on a daily basis. I was hoping to get 2 of those. I don't know anything about lathe work or do I have the room or money to get one. Thank you though for responding.
Oh, thank you very much for your interest! That's really flattering. Due to time limitations I wouldn't be able to make them right now, but I'd likely be open to that sometime in the future. For now though I'll have to stick to growing the channel when I get time to work on it. Thanks again!
Very nice 👌
Thamk you for sharing the schematics so I can follow your process
Thank you for watching!
That's a very nice pen
Twister with cap/hat looks very tidy
Thanks for sharing this
@@drive-channel1834 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
It looks really nice. I made a scriber that looks about the same but I did some knurling to improve the grip.

What angle did you use for the tip? Thanks

Could you please send me the schematics for the tip I cann't read them clearly

Do you know anyplace that could make 2 of these pens cor me?

Could you send me the.schematics? Please. Trying to read the one for the tip is real blurry. Hard to read it.
