New Pen for Customer

[cwolfs69]

Just finished, this evening, a cigar click pen for a customer from the gun show last weekend. By the way I really like these cigar click pens. Well the customer ordered the pen in a blank i had a fountain pen made from at the show. He wanted the pen in a "Tiger" blank as comes from woodcraft. Well i found out that blank is no longer made. I happened to have this blank in the shop, and he said he thought this would work. well, i think it more than works. dont want to brag, but i think this one is over the top.
comments please.

Beautiful!! The curves, especially as they merge smoothly into the ends, are perfect! Nicely done.

PSI has them. they have a smooth short click action. uses same blanks, tubes and bushings as a regular cigar.
ive only made 3 so far counting this one, but they feel nice, only need one hand to use and look pretty good as well.
i just hope they hold up well, only one ive sold before this one was last weekend. haven't heard of problems yet.

Charley - Nice pen! Photo's a bit dark but the color combo looks excellent.

Yeah - I've been making click Big Bens since PSI came out with them. They get excellent reviews from most everyone who touches them.

Even though they use the same bushings/tubes, etc, they seem to be appealing to both men and women for some reason. The comments I got from the old one was it was "too big" for a woman's hand. Hmmm.

i love the feel of the pen. i think it feels different because you do not twist. a little more solid maybe.
by the way, since you have been doing them a while, have you had any problems with the mechanisms. i know that is usually the problem with clickers if you have one.
thanks for the comments

Could an existing Twist Cigar be converted to a Click easily!

Charley - I've done 20 or 30 so far. Delivered better than half (I think?). No failures or returns. One thing that I noticed that I didn't like was in the instructions. They say to screw the mechanism into the coupler and press it into the body. Well, that gave me a concern. If all is OK, no problem but if the upper body is a wee bit short, the mechanism will hit whatever you're pressing with and get damaged. So I just screw the mechanism into the coupler after the coupler is installed.

Mack - Nice try, but I don't think so. There's a cap nut, a different clip assembly, a plunger and (I think) the coupler is changed - but I need to verify that. Plus the mechanism. But all the other parts are the same.

Edit - Mark - I checked and yes, the couple is significantly different.
