COOL !!!!!:biggrin:
I love the shape of the clip and the solder infill is very clever. Did you solder the two legs of the clip into the cap as well?

um.. yeah. what he said. :tongue:

How'd you get it not to flow right out the bottom? Did you build it up and
file it off? I didn't notice any tooling marks, so I wondered. Looks good!
I solder on a flat piece of iron. The silver solder pretty much pools inside the brass. Once you fill it file and sand.

Hey Bob - -

Since you're obviously not going to send me any crappy, would you send me the pen with the fancy clip on it instead? I can enjoy it too, but not as much as the fish.

Great job!

I think it looks great too Bob. That clip is very well done and before reading the rest of the posts, I was trying to figure out what you did too! I also agree with Barry. The entire top section of the pen is smokin! I think that the lower portion should be thicker. Maybe you should have flared it out down by the nib then sucked it back in. It's off balance at the lower section.
