I just finished my second El Grande and ran into an odd problem. On the El Grande, the cap finial screws onto a coupler that is pressed into the cap. On both pens that I made, the black finial is slightly off center and creates an out of round spot where there is a lip you can feel on one side of the finial.
Is this a known issue, or maybe just something I'm doing wrong? The barrel is round and mates perfectly with the clip retaining ring and center band.
It's not the end of the world and not noticeable since most people don't finger the top of the cap, but the fact that it has happened on the only two El Grande's I have made, but not on the Churchills that use a similar system seems odd enough that I figured it was worth throwing it out to the group.
Thanks,
Alex
