This is the coolest thing I've seen in ages. I'm a fountain pen collector. I never use ballpoints. But I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Love it. BTW, if you had an online shop you could sell those pens, and those wooden bowls all day long.
That pen looks _sick_. I've never turned stainless before, but I wanna give this project a go, could make some christmas gifts. Plus, there's no reason this would have to be a pen, a nice carbide scribe could be cool
Just use an appropriate tool geometry, very sharp, and don't let the tool dwell in any spot (let it spin without moving the carriage, cross-slide, or compound) because stainless work-hardens very easily.
Jon Miller if you know about turning stainless maybe you can help me a bit more. I got some stainless (run of the mill stuff, 305 I think?), and it machines awesome with hss, but i chipped 3 edges on 2 carbide inserts, inserts the distributor says are fine for stainless. I wasn't taking any kind of ridiculous cut, and I've gotten quite satisfactory results from these inserts in mild steel and 4140. Any tips or tripping points you know of when cutting stainless with carbide?
I haven't done much stainless yet. Was it an interrupted cut? That's what often does in the carbide inserts. HSS is more resilient there. To be honest I have precious little carbide experience as my lathe has a leather belt that prevents me from getting enough power to the headstock to make use of them. I really need to dip the timing belt conversion.
That's how milling was invented. The lathe came first. Then various attachments to allow greater movement of the workpiece in the same positions he used in this video. Then they made the horizontal mill, which is just a modified version of a lathe, and ultimately the vertical mill. Just a logical progression of getting the machines to do incrementally more. :)
Excellent design. I just used it to make a very similar one for my dad for father's day next week. I ended up using an old bandsaw blade to make the clip out of. We'll see how well it holds up. Thanks for the video.
Outstanding Jeremy (again)! I'm not even much into metal working, and I found this fascinating. Maybe I'll keep my Dad's old 1938 lathe and learn to use it . Thanks!
Ein großartiges Video über eine großartige Arbeit. So viel Leidenschaft wie in diesem Kugelschreiber steckt, der wird auch nie verloren gehen. Vor allem auch vielen dank für die Leidenschaftlichen Worte zur Herstellung.
Man, this is really outstanding! I have no words to describe this awesome work... In my humble opinion you've set the new higher level, at least on the lathe! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us with your passion!
I’m a 46yr old single mum and beginner in woodworking for my upcycling - so there isn’t a chance in hell I’ll ever attempt this, but I watched till the end in admiration - just brilliant ! I also plan to watch your other videos with my 12yr old who is excelling in maths and loves woodwork - you’re an example of using your intelligence and creativity in such a positivity way, it’s inspiring. Thankyou !!
Great project & video! I may be a few "days" (and by days, I mean years...) behind the times, as I never heard of a "bolt-action pen" until I first saw this video a few weeks ago. But now I've made two myself, and I am in the middle of making two more for Christmas gifts. They really are cool pens!
Jeremy, That was brilliant!!! I'm a pen turner who is starting to think more and more about making my own parts. This video blew me away and has inspired me to start moving in that direction. Thank you for posting this.Regards,Bob BlanfordA.K.A. RJBWoodturner
I'd be open to a collaboration if you're interested. My UA-cam channel is RJBWoodturner. Feel free to scan through the videos for some of the custom pen blank builds. If you're interested, let me know, if not no harm in asking.Regards,Bob
Again I am watching a brilliant mind at work. I love your videos and good luck with all you do. This is truly amazing that you think the way you do. Nice work and thank you for sharing. Art and Engineering come together...The possibilities are endless.
Jeremy Schmidt then you can sell it for much more than that,that's why i put "at least" i suppose you can even change the materials,for example you can use aluminium instead of steel.i dunno,if you make a contract with a company,you can even get a pretty big discount when buying materials,i'd give around 50 dollars for this tbh
no,i didn't wanted to say that,not at all,i really like your work and dedication,i just wanted to tell you that those pens would be great if they woupd be massproduced,since they are very useful and resistant :D sorry if i offended you in any way
As a new viewer, I am amazed and thankful for your in depth details. Many build videos now a days lack many important details that you include. Thank you and keep it up!
who else is essentially a child who never had any interest in wood/metalworking but now wishes they could create something like this with their hands, instead are sitting beside a plate that used to have chicken fingers on it
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Crew Jeremias Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I must say it is so refreshing to see a young man able to work with so many machines, experiencing and learning for himself and also sharing with others. In a world of PC games, clubs and wasting time on useless activities this guy is really amazing.
Gee.. You are one hell of jack of trades having the right equipment. I have seen your other videos such as welding, belt sander, and all the like. I can see you being a CEO of your own manufacturing company before long! Keep us fed with your fantastic videos!
I love the professional eyeballer parts! I have found that making something square is usually easier when relying on my eye! As Jimmy Diresta says, if it looks straight it IS straight!
+MetraMan09 Sure. But you could try doing a bit of math before you commit. Consider how much time this took (in hours), then multiply that by how much a machinists time is worth per hour. Add about $12 for materials. If you still want it, then sure I'll make you one.
Jeremy Schmidt Mate, I was talking about the many/mass produced pens from maxmadco. I know how production works; it's always more expensive to make single items or very low runs. I guess I'm under the impression that those pens were made in higher numbers and the markup is just high because that is the lower end of the market value for metal bolt action pens. Of course the pen you made I would not have sold for less than $100, but that makes sense. I enjoyed the video, you do great work.
+MetraMan09 Contextual value is difficult to calculate...so I'm not sure about that. But I would make you one like it for $800. The second one would be worth no less to me than the original, but I see how it could be worth more to a viewer!
Jeremy , this is by far the best video you have done. The multiple camera views combined with your clear explanation made it very easy to watch. That pen is amazing, I really hope you make a batch to sell. Great Job
I used to carry a Rotring mechanical pencil. Unfortunately it couldn't put up to the torture I put it through; it clogged up with grime and quit feeding. Nice while it lasted though!
I agree with all of you pen qualms. If I ever get my hands on a machining lathe, I'm stealing your design! I'll go ahead and add that, with a little practice, capping a pen one handed is actually rather easy. I think I had it pretty well within a day and down perfect within a week.
Great work Jerry, not only are you a fine craftsman but I like your style of presentation a lot. I can imagine just how much work and thought must have gone into this project. I love the old lathe! I'm new here, glad I found your channel. Greetings from Scotland.
All I can do is agree with everyone else. A great video showing a great little project. Definitely puts other UA-cam content providers to shame. Keep up the great work young man 👍👍👍👍👍👍
its "due to" (2:00). sorry. I had to write this. This comment adds nothing to this video at all. in fact, it does nothing but make me look like a petty asshole. still though.
Nah. It's called teaching, not being petty. Jeremy teaches some machining, you teach some grammar and spelling. Both are useful and should be appreciated. :)
Love your videos man, been binge watching them since a couple days. One thing on this one though, you might want to make a habit of removing the chuck key from the lathe chuck (as seen at about 11:50). I'm sure you know why, but if not, put a remote switch on the lathe, put the key in, exit the room, turn it on and come back. Only do this if you have a 2nd key, because you might not even find it at all anymore..
Wow. Never really stopped to think about how much work goes into writing utensils, but this really opened that up. Absolutely gorgeous pen! Wish I had one for myself haha I'll have to send this to a friend of mine with a garage workshop, he's got the same problem with breaking pens and could probably the inspiration. :)
I just don't get it! , why some viewers dislike this video ? I think they are jealous of this guy for his cool and useful ideas?Way to go Jeremy this is a great project, I like the idea.
Jeremy, I really like your pen, it boggles the mind why the professionals have never thought of something like this. If you were to give me a choice of which of your inventions to buy first I think it would be your CNC machine. I really like your lathe, looks very antique. Bill
Your videos frequently show up in my recommended, and I am not disappointed. I've always loved working in the workshop and it's awesome to watch someone else with a lot of experience there :)
You are a genius Jeremy!!!! Really your work are amazing!!! And eléctrical, mechanical, and handtool habilities are impressive too.... Congrats im a new subscriber from so far Argentina!!!
I had to pause and comment that that was genius with the way that you milled that 'L' slot. From this video alone, I'm going to sub because I can tell I will like your content.
Jer this was unexpectedly cool... As a wood worker metal work seems to have a lot of similarities but just more precise and controlled. Enjoyed! Might have to get a metal lathe.
Gday Jeremy, I’ve been looking at making a pen myself and mate you have done a bloody great job of making yours, very impressive. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Matty in Australia 🇦🇺
thanks for the video you are some cool machinist ,keep it up ,iv subscribed so hope to see more of your work ,I am a 55 year old engineer and you have made me go out to shed to dust the cobwebs of my lathe ,
I find your videos to be far more interesting than Diresta. I actually go back and rewatch your stuff but I’ve never done that with Diresta. You and Mathias are my most rewatched channels.
"I can't find the right pen, so I'll just design and machine the perfect one for me." You're amazing.
Dude, it's the first time I've watched a 18min video on youtube without skipping anything. I want one of those pens!
I did the same thing. lol
I also want one of those pens! I wonder how expensive they'd be if someone wants mass producing those parts?.. ide buy one
around 80$ give or take.
i'd like one of these pens but it'd need a lot of work to suite my taste. imo knurled grips or bye.
I would buy one as well.
if they were mass produced, 80$ a pop? i think you're overshooting it a little.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in ages. I'm a fountain pen collector. I never use ballpoints. But I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Love it. BTW, if you had an online shop you could sell those pens, and those wooden bowls all day long.

Justin S I'm having trouble imagining what that would be
Justin S I was thinking of a metalworking scribe, marking gauges usually scribe a parallel line a fixed distance from an edge
When do you start mass producing them!!!
I have deep respect for the amount of work that you put into this pen. Fantastic video!
+Nick Joslin
Thank you!
very impress with your pen. and with your idea of using a lathe as a mill... great job!
That's how milling was invented. The lathe came first. Then various attachments to allow greater movement of the workpiece in the same positions he used in this video. Then they made the horizontal mill, which is just a modified version of a lathe, and ultimately the vertical mill. Just a logical progression of getting the machines to do incrementally more. :)
It's a rare day that I like a non-woodworking video, but this one has definitely earned it. Fascinating!
my favorite pen from high school was a twist to open type, seems like that would be even better at preventing stuff from getting in
Excellent design. I just used it to make a very similar one for my dad for father's day next week. I ended up using an old bandsaw blade to make the clip out of. We'll see how well it holds up. Thanks for the video.
Outstanding Jeremy (again)! I'm not even much into metal working, and I found this fascinating. Maybe I'll keep my Dad's old 1938 lathe and learn to use it
. Thanks!
+Jim Hester
Thanks!
Definitely give it a try! I really love turning on this little old lathe :)
Jim
You should send that lathe to me instead. Lol.
Ein großartiges Video über eine großartige Arbeit. So viel Leidenschaft wie in diesem Kugelschreiber steckt, der wird auch nie verloren gehen. Vor allem auch vielen dank für die Leidenschaftlichen Worte zur Herstellung.

You're a very talented young man Jeremy! I enjoy your videos very much. Keep up the good work!
+G23 Thanks!
This has been popping up on my feed for 6 years (I think). Still watch it in full every time
Very entertaining to watch you making that awesome pen. Now, I don't want wood pens anymore, I want them stainless steel.
I did this project and had good results just clamping the pen body in a quick change tool holder to do the milling of the bolt action!
How the hell did I not see this video before? Awesome job man!
+Giaco Whatever
Thank you! :)
Great project & video! I may be a few "days" (and by days, I mean years...) behind the times, as I never heard of a "bolt-action pen" until I first saw this video a few weeks ago. But now I've made two myself, and I am in the middle of making two more for Christmas gifts. They really are cool pens!
i havent even made one, and ive already lost it.
Somehow, I found it quite satisfying to watch the creation of this pen. Nicely done video, as always!
Jeremy, That was brilliant!!! I'm a pen turner who is starting to think more and more about making my own parts. This video blew me away and has inspired me to start moving in that direction. Thank you for posting this.Regards,Bob BlanfordA.K.A. RJBWoodturner

considering the fact that this pen is made to last forever,i suppose you could sell it for atleast 20 dollars
+Seraphinianus
The materials cost more than that
Jeremy Schmidt then you can sell it for much more than that,that's why i put "at least" i suppose you can even change the materials,for example you can use aluminium instead of steel.i dunno,if you make a contract with a company,you can even get a pretty big discount when buying materials,i'd give around 50 dollars for this tbh
+Seraphinianus
So apparently at this point you're still thinking my time isn't worth anything?
no,i didn't wanted to say that,not at all,i really like your work and dedication,i just wanted to tell you that those pens would be great if they woupd be massproduced,since they are very useful and resistant :D sorry if i offended you in any way
Yes half the shit you make you can sell and make profit of it. It's not like you can't just make it again.
As a new viewer, I am amazed and thankful for your in depth details. Many build videos now a days lack many important details that you include. Thank you and keep it up!
+Kevin Schultz
Thanks for the feedback!
who else is essentially a child who never had any interest in wood/metalworking but now wishes they could create something like this with their hands, instead are sitting beside a plate that used to have chicken fingers on it
That was awesome! I never realised how fine metal working is. The design looked professional and strong at the same time. Really cool tool.
+Mr. Apparatus
Thanks!
Great job man. It does my heart good to see a young person like you who’s into machining instead of video games and cellphones.
get a life old man
You are very talented. Excellent woodworker, machinist. Problem solver and first class inventor.
Beautiful work. Unquestionably a piece of art!
And that's coming from a pencil person ;)

Love the simplicity of the function of the pen. Outstanding job!
+Justin Depew
Thanks!
Well, now I need a machining lathe or mill. Looks fun. Anyone have recommendations on where to start?
+Take Zer0
Get an old one. Mine is a 1947 USA made machine and it works just fine. A whole lot cheaper than a new one!
I love the professional eyeballer parts! I have found that making something square is usually easier when relying on my eye! As Jimmy Diresta says, if it looks straight it IS straight!
I'd buy one of these so fast. COuld have really used one when I was out in the field a lot. Sand sucks.
+sandollor
There's a couple of site around the web selling similar pens. My favorite is MaxMadCo.com
Jeremy Schmidt Nice simple design, but ridiculously expensive. I'll wait for a 75% off sale lol.
+MetraMan09
Sure. But you could try doing a bit of math before you commit. Consider how much time this took (in hours), then multiply that by how much a machinists time is worth per hour. Add about $12 for materials. If you still want it, then sure I'll make you one.

is there a pen like this I could buy and if so where
+Water Proof Tape

Jeremy Schmidt thx
Also karaskustoms.com/pens.html
I was reminded of my Rotring 900 Series pens. I like the bolt action. verry sturdy. Identify the problem, design a solution, engineer it. I like it!
I used to carry a Rotring mechanical pencil. Unfortunately it couldn't put up to the torture I put it through; it clogged up with grime and quit feeding. Nice while it lasted though!
0:41 "Does exactly the same thing as my iphone!" *LIKES The shit oUT OF VIDEO*

what is keeping the bolt from falling out?
I am thinking the same thing...
He puts a screw into the piston before he puts the bolt in and then he tightens that screw so that it holds the bolt in place.

These answers are correct.

Hope you have a patent.
Came to say this but have my thumbs up instead.
+Joey DH
There's nothing original or patentable about my design.
+Jeremy Schmidt . And knowing that is half the battle! I hope you have some plans to sell that, I'm quite sure people would buy it.
Supremely awesome good sir. The set screw to hold in the bolt is brilliant.
+Braeden Hamson
Thank you! That was my brother's idea ;-)
Haha well the whole pen is brilliant. I just couldn't figure out how you were holding that bolt in.
I'm honestly having a hard time believing what I just saw with my own two eyes...

Thank you!
Jeremy is to pens as Clickspring is to clocks.
Great video. Cant wait to try this on my lathe once I finish cleaning and reassembling it

Well at least you know how you stand...
Should have thanked him for helping you out man...
Nah. It's called teaching, not being petty. Jeremy teaches some machining, you teach some grammar and spelling. Both are useful and should be appreciated. :)
Love your videos man, been binge watching them since a couple days. One thing on this one though, you might want to make a habit of removing the chuck key from the lathe chuck (as seen at about 11:50). I'm sure you know why, but if not, put a remote switch on the lathe, put the key in, exit the room, turn it on and come back. Only do this if you have a 2nd key, because you might not even find it at all anymore..
I've never seen someone use a lathe as a mill before, this is just an awesome video all around!
Love your presentation. The pen is beautiful and real functional. Thanks for making it on video.
Always fascinating watching a skilled craftsman at work. Makes me want to go out and buy a milling machine!
+John Nemo
It made me want a milling machine too! :)
