My first clicker

[jimr]

When I ordered this I did not really realize it was a click pen but I have been wanting to try one anyway. All those little parts is a bit intimidating but following the assembly directions closely was pretty easy. Its a little flashy to me but SWMBO thinks it is a super looking pen. With all the glitter there is not much reason to add any design so it was very easy to turn. The wood is red heart. I like click ballpoints but don't know if I will do any more gemini ones or not.
Thanks for looking

sorry about the large picture. I will try to remember to resize to a smaller image file.

That is a very nice looking pen, Jim. I never considered this particular kit before, but seeing yours I might change my mind. It is an excellent job, and I do like your choice of wood for it.

Thanks Fred. I have one or two more of these kits so I will make those at least. I have a display of pens in a local arts and interiors store and if I get any interest in these I make order some more. I also intend to try a rollerball, been wanting to for a while now. Any advice on those, which one, etc.

You might like the Polaris.
Similar construction,simpler design.(twist)
Nice Job on the pen.

Nice job on the pen. Should appeal to the "bells and whistles" crowd.

I have made several of the polaris pens and they are fun to make.
The only thing I don't like is that they are almost to large. The turned barrel has to be quite big to stay in perspective with the tip and cap size.

Nice job, it is a little flashy, that will wake you up first thing in the morn. Anthony

Jim, that's a fine looking pen. I've been thinking of ordering a couple of those to try myself. I have'nt seen any others posted here, so I'm glad to see your pic and thoughts on it.

Great job! What is the name of the kit and where did you buy it?

Thanks

Nice job Randy .
I've looked at those kits but for whatever reason they just don't appeal to me at all .

I have made one of these in all the time I have made pens.
It was specifically requested by a friend of mine for a gift to his sister in law. I hear about how happy she is with it all the time. so for those that have a taste for them, they are the cats meow.
me I'm a Gent's pen type

Doug: I was just answering a question.....that is not my pen. Personally I prefer the more classic/conservative designs. "Gemini" would not be my first choice.

Speaking of "clickers", Berea has a new kit out that is described as....."new improved no jam clicker." Anyone tried this kit yet???
