Thread: Where to start

Hi James

I think you're pretty much set but if, by "section sleeve", you mean the ready made Bock sections that Beaufort sells then I think you need a M8.5 x 1.0mm tap to connect it to the barrel (your 10x1 tap isn't going to work for this purpose). I may be wrong, or perhaps I have misunderstood you, but thats what it says.

And brass can be turned on a wood lathe using high speed steel or carbide tools. Just take light passes and, whist its not essential, a little lubrication helps.

Cheers

Ash This is what I mean the section sleeve

Section sleeves for custom pens - pre-threaded for Bock size 6 nibs

I've watch the video and it's 10x1mm tap I need the inside is threaded to take the nib bok #6

James

Ah yes, I forgot about those.

Well in that case I think you're all set so good luck!

Cheers
