I figured I'd give this another try. I made the pen in 3 pieces so I could make the nib and finial the way I wanted, then just adjust the length of the body.
I wanted to hide some of the click mechanism and add a clip. To get the click mechanism to fit under the finial and not make the pen too fat, I had to turn off what I call the button cup on the click mechanism that normally sits on top of the pen.
When it was almost done I still didn't have a clip that would fit because I wanted to hide the clip ring. The ring had to have a large enough I.D. to fit around the finial threads and a small enough O.D. to fit inside the pen diameter. Hmmm...
So I called Mike Redburn. Mike, I got a little problem.... No problem he says. He always says no problem but I think it's tougher than it looks. So he made me up a sterling silver clip to the ring specs I needed and I think it looks nice and contemporary to go with the pen. The sides of the clip have a rough texture and the top is polished

First of all, I want a dozen of those clips. THAT, should get me started. Then, I need to get my lower barrels turned down that far. Then, I need......
