tube

A small 'simple' question. Will Loctite 271 permanently fixing one brass tube into another

Hi All, As you know I like a bullet case pen or two.... Good sellers for me:thumbs: So we have 2x. 338 Lapua magnum cases being used These were made on my wood lathe with a 4 jaw chuck... Make sure the cases are 'fired' chuck one up and drill the back (primer end) to take an Omega body tube...

i think this one turned out well..not decided what to do with the middle once ive drilled it for the tube :thinks:...

As some may know i have just got back into pens again. I have two NATO rounds 7.65mm, the bullet is out of the case and the case empty (thought i would get that in lol). I made two of these before but i can't find any details as to what brass tube to use i think they were twist pens as i did not...

So some of you may recall have seen that I was looking for a tube for a PSI pen 12.5mm...there's a previous thread! Well Garno was right with The Pessoa tube that worked, and thanks to everyone else who commented, so here is the finished pen... Regards Padster

Guys, I need some help do any of you know where I can source a piece of 12.5mm (well this is the drill size) brass pen tube. The kit is PSI - but I'm having no joy finding tube - Axi only have replacement kits. The issue was in putting the pen together the upper cap piece fractured - now I...

Had better days before now. First off I had a beautiful blank of Black Palmira that decided to break in half (Lengthways) just as the drill bit was exiting, (Split with drill inside if you get my meaning). Oh well all is not lost as I had a lovely bit of Wenge that I could use. Cut blank to...

Hi all, Had a bit of a play.... these are once fired cases with new bullets fitted.... So I started by removing the lead from the bullets, a pair of smooth pliers and a blow torch. Next drill the 2mm hole in the bullet (from behind it self centers). I resized the cases with a reloading press...

I was ask on the last set of these why are the tubes stepped it’s for several reasons one because both halves tapper two because on most modern kits the tubes are shorter and the finial is thinner and hollow to accommodate the refills this kit the business end tube is longer and takes the whole...

HI, I've had a search through some of the posts regarding barrel trimming, a lot of you use a disc sander to trim the ends. my question is how do you sort out the problem of residual glue in the tube. I use Z-poxy and it just seems to go everywhere!!! I only have the standard 7mm pen mill and...

So the curse of Garno strikes yet again :vangry: Doing a "Loong Dragon Pen" Picked a nice resin blank Drilled a hole "Dead centre" Cleaned it out nicely Tested the tube fitting, absolutely spot on, like a foot in a sock. Glued said tube into the blank making sure the glue fully covered the...

I have run into a problem before I even start with the Atrax pen. This time I decided to read the instructions before I do anything and have ended up totally confused. The instructions say to drill the larger blank 12.5mm and the short blank 10.5mm, however the shorter tube is 12.5mm and the...

Just made this letter opener in acrylic. The photo's make it appear all white yet in reality it has more of a marble effect. I used CA to glue the tube in place but for some reason it did not hold/glue anywhere, only found out assembling it, maybe I should try gorilla glue next time. Also I am...

When turning acrylic blanks how do you finish them? Whilst waiting for a delivery I decided to turn an acrylic blank I have with an image stuck on the tube, do I just go through the grits on sandpaper? or just try buffing it until I can see the image?

Well what a day this has turned out to be. I had a kit for the "New Style Screw Cap RB" pen. I turned it on Sapele and finished it with melamine so I only needed to assemble it. I emptied out all those bags and laid all the parts out. I then assembled the centre band. I looked at the band and...

I'm relatively new to casting and now want to cast some stamps or labels on the tube. Can anyone help me with the best way to stick the stamps to the tube without getting glue on the face of the stamps or labels. My first attempts have been spoiled because of this. I've been using diluted Mod Podge.

Morning all, Any one know where I can get five sets of Atrax FP/RB tubes? Turners retreat are diseased and non operational at the moment, shut by the virus. I ordered some from them but only one of the tubes turned up, the cap tube, I'm after the body tube and cant get hold of TR to tell them...

Just wondering if anyone has had a go with this stuff, saw a guy on you tube using it for rings and was wondering about the possibility of pens maybe?

Hi all, I asked Bammer( on here) for a watch part pen blank for a Levech. He never fails to deliver, so here we have the results... On a Mistral(same tube set).

I am after a pen kit that will incorporate this segmented piece. It's just over 80mm long. Does anyone know of a UK pen kit with a tube that will accommodate the blank shown without me cutting away any of the segmented area? Was looking at the TM Epsilon but it's only 65mm
