Christmas gift for my wife

[Suzuki4evr]

Hi guys.
I decided to make my wife a Christmas present this year. I am not going to lie,I stole some ideas by looking at YouTube. (Pics will follow )

I designed a pen made out of aluminium. I intended for it to be a twist pen,but there was a design flaw......I made the threading section a bit to short and I was too far in to start over. But all was not lost,so I just made a cap for it.Well easier said than done,because I wanted to line the inside of the cap with nylon so the cap could fit nicely and not scratch the fine knurl on the gripping part of the pen. I must say it was very fine and nerve wrecking work. But it all worked out and I am very happy with the end product.




I even made a small box out of isopine ceiling bord and matching lid,just to round everything off.


I must say I enjoyed it more and more the further I went and I can't wait to give it to her. I am going to make a stainless one for myself sometime. Merry Christmas all and may God bless you and keep everyone safe this holiday season.

That looks very nice, do you have a link to the video that inspired you. Looks like it could be a fun project and is certainly a unique gift.

My wife would be fine with a chainsaw for Christmas, I bought her a Rotozip for her birthday the second year we were married. It is what she asked for, I knew then for she was worth keeping.

which reminds me, thanks for the reminder -- I'd better get focus and get Mi'lady's done up.
Picture-Cube, at least I do have the pictures printed and waiting.
Now there's that part about 'cubes'.

I didn’t make a Christmas gift for my wife, but have made gifts for the family.

this was magnet covers I made a few years ago I just epoxied magnets inside them

machining recesses on the coasters I’ve machined for this years Christmas presents

completed coasters with felt glued on

this one set on a friends table he sent me the picture after he received them.

I will post the video after Christmas. Some of the family watch my YouTube channel
