Well, Charlie it is a very laborous process that takes almost 10 to 15 minutes to make.:redface: 1/16 brass wire, nickel solder and needle nose pliers. :biggrin:ok, spill the beans on that custom clip...
and the solder infill is very clever.
Yep, boy is hard to solder thru that 7mm tube!!COOL !!!!!:biggrin:
I love the shape of the clip and the solder infill is very clever. Did you solder the two legs of the clip into the cap as well?
I solder on a flat piece of iron. The silver solder pretty much pools inside the brass. Once you fill it file and sand.um.. yeah. what he said. :tongue:
How'd you get it not to flow right out the bottom? Did you build it up and
file it off? I didn't notice any tooling marks, so I wondered. Looks good!
Greg, sent you an invite, thought maybe you were mad at me since I didn't offer to buy ya dinner.:frown::biggrin:Pretty Cool pens Bob. Would love to visit your shop sometime since I drive through Athens twice a week.
