Making a BOLT ACTION Pen || INHERITANCE MACHINING
Переглядів 2,921,476
День томуWelcome 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!

@@MazeFrame Strongly disagree on the fast part. No matter how fast you can draw with a pencil. Modelling software will always be faster. However, drawing by hand does do something that CAD lacks. It forces you to think more intentionally about every line you draw and every dimension you put down on the paper. Ive noticed that with CAD I find myself roughing out a part withing literal seconds. And then spending a significant amount of time trying to fine tune it.

It's amazing on how you hand-made all the drafts in a professional manner. Most novices in the world of Advanced Manufacturing(myself included!) only learn dimetric sketching(some also learn trimetric sketching), most blueprints used are created via design programs(like Solidworks). I'll definitely stick around to see more. I may be more experienced in computer-based design, and claim it is in most cases better, I'll still enjoy it.
@InheritanceMachining Рік тому
Thanks. Yeah I've used CAD (SW, Inventor, Creo) for school and work for like the last 15 years. While CAD is definitely faster for me, I just enjoy breaking away from the screen for the shop projects. I'm lucky to have had 4 years of drafting in high school

@JohnDlugosz 9 місяців тому
Ah, the younger generations don't learn all the original skills. Back in the day, CAD was the exotic beast that experienced draftsmen and machinists didn't know how to use without special training. Oh, and AutoCAD was not something you just picked up figured out! Oh, but the workstations had these cool X-Y input devices that had like a phone number pad on the back rather than just left/right buttons. Not entirely direct GUI manipulation, you had to enter commands and point to where you wanted to draw, as well.

@chefboiarby304 Рік тому
The cool part is that the copper is antimicrobial and it will develop a unique patina as a result from the oils on your skin. If you end up not liking the patina, you can always polish it off and make the pen look brand new (a brass pen will also have these same features due to the similar properties of both metals). With the right technique, you may even be able to "shipwreck" the copper (forcing copper corrosion in order to develop a unique turquoise pattern for aesthetic purposes which is usually then preserved by a sealant or clear protective coating). I have two bolt action pens in my collection so far. I own a Bastion bolt action pen which is a blue coated aluminum (it is rather bulky, but I like the feeling of extra robustness) and a copper version of the Refyne bolt action pen (way more compact and fancier then the Bastion pen making it an excellent choice as part of a gentleman's EDC). Both of these bolt action pens have various price and material options (the Bastion pen has tons of size, material, and color options as well as a similar line of mechanical pencils) which all take standard Parker Jotter cartridges. I carry the Bastion pen with me almost everywhere I go and I usually have a Fisher Space Bullet Pen (matte black version with matching clip), Tombow Airpress, or Victorinox Swisscard Classic (has a mini blue ink pressurized pen as part of the tool set) to accompany it. I save the Refyne for fancier occasions or for when I need a slightly more compact option to fit in the pocket.

They do lots of projects like this at my school, but it makes sense now because they told me that they've started making these pens this year. I make lots of draws in Autocad and my teacher gave me the task to modify the drawing in order to use the terms of technical draw that we use here in Argentina (for example, instead of using inches we use millimeters, etc.).

Nice Project and well executed! What i only like more from the original draw is the "J" slot. It's reversed so the the bolt lever in rest position don't interfere when you slide the clip into a pocket. I think also if you give more angle of the clip towards the barrell, so that when you screw into place the clip will touch and give a little tension against the barrell, It would be finished better and It would help to secure firmly the pen into a pocket without risking dropping it if you lean forward. Can't wait to see your next videos!

👍A spot drill as opposed to a cdrill can save a some headaches. I use stub length drills for everything unless I need the extra length and don't spot or cdrill. Most things are accurate enough that way. A small carbide mill would have gotten the broken tip out. Looks great.
@InheritanceMachining Рік тому
Thanks for tips. Unfortunately I didn't have anything carbide that small on hand... so remaking was faster than ordering and waiting!

Love your channel. I recently built a tap wrench based on your design from an early video on your channel. One of my most satisfying builds.

Great story, great build and a well deserved treat for yourself, kids and G-Kids! Nice Arrow Heads BTW, I always had trouble with consistency on those. Tough materials to work with, especially with tolerances and 2-56's but you pulled it off in your usual aplomb and excellence and who doesn't love 2-56 button heads. Kind of looked like a Parker insert¿ I imagine the weight is real nice and balance better now. Not sure I have the tools for this but am now on my 4th Yasumoto quad point in ~4 decades and obviously love them for their trick mechanism, weight, balance, 3 colors and pencil. Your vids are a real treat in every sense...Thank You for your time, really good story telling and the quality you bring to the community! ~PJ

Another amazing project, quality as always. It looked to me like the bolt is too close to the clip though for the clip to function at its best. Looks like it would get caught on your pocket.

@slartimus Рік тому
Fantastic work once again. The buttery smoothness of your diagram drafting is, as ever, both soothing and also envy-inducing. Glad to see that the Side Project Counter was keeping it strict, even if a second side project showed up to keep the first one company. 11:51 In my head, I heard this sentence followed up by the obvious exclamation, *_"Chamfers!"_* 😃 (I also could hear the "Again." in re: remaking the part if the tap broke off coming before you actually said it.) 12:26 I'm impressed that one of the reasons for using 410 wasn't, "It's what I happen to have in the shop," which I've gotten used to from a variety of machining channels. 😁 (No shame to anyone for using what you've got when you can't get what you'd want; it just struck me as funny to not hear it.) (Also, thank you for proper non-auto-generated captions, but I noticed there were a few times when they said "lathe" when you obviously said "length", 13:26 has "bores" when you said "burrs", followed by "board" instead of "[weight-reducing] bore". I don't think YT has a proper system for people to suggest corrections to captions on others' videos, so I figured I'd mention it here for further proof-reading.)
@InheritanceMachining Рік тому
Am I becoming predictable? 😂 I'm definitely guilty of just using what I have, but I'm making good headway through the mystery metals 😉 And thanks for the catches on the captions. I review them each time but 10 minutes of reading I still miss them occasionally.

Honestly, I can't help but feel envious of all the things you make. I myself sadly lack both the materials and machines required to make those myself, but making a bolt action pen like this is definitely something on my bucketlist.
@pauldeddens5349 Рік тому
I know, as an artist my mind was blown when I saw what a lathe was for the first time. All the super cool art and tools you can make with that are endless! It just makes me want to grab the biggest damn log or piece of metal I can find and start carving the profile for a sculpture.

@voodoochild1954 Рік тому
Very Nice! The only thing I was wondering is why you put the bolt at 45 deg from the clip? It looks like it may get in the way when you try to slip it into your pocket being so close.

I was wondering that same thing. The pocket clip looks unusable.

I’ve never used a metal lathe, though I’ve always wanted to try it. I fell in love with the wood lathe, so much so that I took wood shop as an elective 6 years later, during my senior year of high school. Every project I did, I found a reason to use the lathe, LOL!!!
