Hi all. Here for display is yesterday's finished product.

I had so many requests for a pen similar to the ones I have been doing, but with a clip, that I gave in and made one.

Great pen! Is the barrel to cap thread a 12mm triple start or something else?

No - this one is a single-start 1/2 x 28 for barrel to cap. I have to turn some new chucks before I start using my triple start. Coming soon...:biggrin:

Beautiful!!

Ken, That is an absolutely gorgeous piece of work !! Very clean..threads are well done. The profile and contour of the pen is great. If you don't mind me asking...where did you get the clip from...did you make it?
Thanks so much for sharing! Regards, Doc

Beautiful clean threads and an killer pen. So do you have a dust free environment? Great close up shots and not a speck of dust. Very impressive.

Don't mind at all. Sharing how-to info is the whole point of this forum! I wish I had the equip to make my own clips. Hmm..maybe another time, another project... The clip is pilfered from a cigar pen kit. Sadly, I then have no use for the rest of the kit (so if anyone has a hankering to make a bunch of clipless cigar kit pens, I have just the thing :biggrin:).

Thanks! No, definitely not a dust free environment. Got too many kids for that. :laugh: I just use a damp rag to wipe off during the shoot.

I believe you can get the clip holder assembly that includes the clip from Wood-n-Whimsey. I'm not up on all the new marketing rules, so I hope this is OK.

EDIT: Oh, and BTW . . . . . Great looking pen.

ken,
I love the finish on your pens. The threads are always clean and crist. Do you buff or just polish? Fantastic looking pen indeed.
