Most of my pens are scratch built including the finials waist bands etc, the clips i do buy in although sometimes make them from copper or aluminium wire.For ball points I tend to use cross mechanisms and refills. I'd suggest starting with this style of pen before progressing to body and cap designs if I can help give me a shout I've been off the lathe for a while so need some projects to get going following illness
