clip

I’ve shown a few of these hexagonal pens before but one of the tricky elements I hadn’t shared was adding a pocket clip. I typically use the hidden ring approach and cut a small notch in the cap to allow the clip bar to pass through. That’s pretty straightforward on cylindrical shaped pens as...

Made this ladies stylus pen in Wyche Elm and black chrome without a clip.

Hi Pen People A bit of a beefier pen this. it takes a larger converter than I usually supply with the pens I make. It has around twice the volume that the standard cartridge converter, which is huge in fountain pen terms. It was more to satisfy my curiosity on how it would work and look, rather...

Hi all, I was asked by a fellow member how I assemble my fountains. Sorry if this is old hat to some, it may be of use to others... Or I could be completely wrong and someone has a better idea!! Well here goes! I turn my blanks separately and store on a rack to aid orientation (this time a...

A slimline dressed in London Plane with golf club clip.

I made this one for myself. I had made one previously and was going to add a clip to it but forgot and glued the cap finial in by mistake. So this is version 2 (with clip). I used vintage black cellulose and complimented it with a modern deep red cellulose. It has a Bock style nib (same...

This is a pen I recently made for myself out of CS brown swirl. It’s probably may favourite material so far. Originally it had no clip but yesterday I was doing a crossword with it in the garden and I had to pick up a few things to bring into the house. With my hands full I realised I’d need to...

What an amazing kit the Sirocco is. Really enjoyed working with a more 'premium' kit. Only had one issue, and that was when pressing the clip in. The angle of the actual clip was holding it off the blank at quite a steep angle, and I think any more pressure would have cracked the blank. I'm...

Well it’s taken a pandemic virus, long term lockdown and possible global economic collapse for me to justify spending some quality time in my shed at last. So I’ve tried to make the most of the time and I’ve had a go at making my own clips. This example is hammered bronze paired with krinite...

VAN DIEMANS Land AKA Tasmania Franklin Square twenty years ago brought down at 150 yrs of age. From:winking: a scrap Elm Burl is beautiful. The hexes are cut dead centre at the tip and off centre at the clip (adjustment needed at the biro) to allow a full press the kit has a crazr protudence at...

Hope everyone is keeping well. Thought I would have a go at mixed medium and building a clip. Quite happy with the results though gluing the clip was a bit messy....

A friend of mine has been asked to turn a Pen for someone who is a member of the Freemasons. Does anyone know of a supplier of a kit IN the UK that either the clip or the blank has a link to the Freemasons. Thanks in advance Cheers Kevin :banana:

Following on from the slimline “awareness pen” I finished a Tempest using the Sapphire Radiance blank. I was hoping to do a “johnny5” and attach a pin on the clip. Unfortunately Ive not been able to find a suitable pin. Anyone offer any suggestions? (The photo was vertical ☹️) Dave

Though I typically use Bock nibs, I had a customer request a Jowo nib instead. This was my test piece to learn in the in's and out's of boring the section for a Jowo #6. Italian pearl blue and black acrylic with nickel clip and black acrylic accents. The clip is annealing in the wife's oven...

Many weeks ago, I posted a couple of prototype designs for a faceted pen idea I had. Lesson Number One: When using a triple start cap thread, the facets will only line up between cap and body a third of the time on an octagonal pen. Solution: Try a hexagon. ("Greg - you are an idiot...

So…sometimes accidents happen… fly-by-the-seat-of your pants…and look at this. Italian acrylic with burgundy accent acrylic. Bock #6. The clip is my take on Grecian urn ivy – in a former life, I did this with pearl in guitar headstocks. Clip is primarily bronze with nickel vine and bronze...

Finished 6 of these to go with the Sirocco's I did last week. Gold slimlines dressed in Bethlehem Olive and a cross clip. Finished using Phil's melamine method. Regards Craig

Hi guys :) I’m making a pen, a Sedona, as a Christmas gift for a Dr friend, and want to replace the standard clip with a medical one. I can’t for the life of me work out how to separate the original clip from the finial (I think that bit is called) on a Sedona. It looks like the finial is in...

A simple straight slimline Pen dressed in white corian. This will be part of a desk set hence no clip.

A women came to me, telling me she loved a sherry tree that used to give shadow to her patio, but it died a few years ago. The wood was dry, she asked me to make a ballpoint pen with it. She added: "Make it as simple as possible, no clip, please show the wood". I was pretty interested, because...
