I'm new to this so my verbiage may not be correct. I have seen some have casted a small cap to fit on the end of the pen that matches the pen. I've seen some will leave it clear with a small item "floating" in it. It is a great next level touch to a pen. I searched the library but found nothing on this. Are there tutorials out there for this?

The cap finial can be popped out and the same material used from the blank can be turned down to replace it.
The master of these was Ed 'Yo-yo-spin' Davidson. He made and sold 'Doohicky's'. He has ( had? ) videos in the library but I don't know if you did one on those. I bought a bunch of his cast dice, flowers and even a small skull from him.
Another legend that no longer visits here.....:frown:

Here's a pic of one of his flowers I put on the closed end of a pen.
