Trying to find how to make a closed end click pen? I searched the library but didn't find anything.
Suggestions?

I think you're onto it Bob. That could be done. I'm nowhere near being set up in the new shop yet. But, if you give it more thought, I'm sure you could figure a way to make it work.About the only thing I can think of is the kitless click. I don't really understand what you mean by a closed end click pen, since it's basically open at both ends. I have thought about doing a click where the whole upper barrel was the click mechanism. But I don't know how you'd do that with a kit.
WHY....am I not surprised that YOU have made one? :biggrin: Enjoy the sun there pal! Then, get started on the tutorial :biggrin:I've done a closed ended clicker.:biggrin:
Only two visible parts.......nib and clicker.
I'll post a plc later, cos I'm on my Kindle soaking up some sun rays and mellowing out in my garden.
It's in my album though..:wink:
The way I'd do it is to use the brass click mechanism from Richard Greenwald.I think you're onto it Bob. That could be done. I'm nowhere near being set up in the new shop yet.

I don't see a click pen on page 21. They all are closed ended, but they look like jr Retro rollerballs to me. Maybe I'm missing something.Found it....first pen on page 21....
I didn't realise I had so many pics in my album..:redface:
I think I probably did show how it was made but there has been too many sleeps and too many beers between then and now...
Directions?
I can make a suggestion if, you don't mind. Not trying to appear as a know it all but, get your parts together (click mechanism from whoever you like, refill etc.) lay them out in front of you. Take measurements where you have different diameters for drills. Draw a rough sketch and, give it some thought about how you want your pen to look. I'll bet you can do it. Then, when it's done, make us a tutorial. :biggrin:Sorry it was a request as my first post looking for help.
So it seems it can be done, I have been trying to picture how but this discussion is good.

Based on this comment, I think we are doing just fine.
OK I quit.
