Present for dad - ally fountain pen.
Darren:
A little bit of bling and that would look great Chris,
A bit o' brass would work wonders :thumbup:
Brass_Machine:
A brass ring and polish... :nrocks:
I would like to make some pens sometime.

I`ve been thinking about this and can`t see any possible way of putting in brass rings flush with the barrel without cutting the barrel, inserting and putting back together again - and I really don`t facy doing this due to more issues with it leaking. If I put a goove in it, I just can`t see how I could inlay that groove without a join in the brass or doing the above. Any suggestions or any other "bling" suggestions ....
NickG - the boxford. Nothing like doing small parts on a big lathe, that is what I said before right ? :bang:

Brass_Machine:
Cut your groove for a brass inlay...
Cut yourself a ring of brass to fit the groove. Cut said ring in half, solder back together in the groove. Clean up and polish!

**dunno if that would really work... but for some reason I remember seeing something like that done somewhere on the interwebs.
raynerd:
Cheers Eric, sounds like it should work. I bet with a good polish you can barely see the join. Thanks for the suggestion mate.
