Bespoke Pens

[RichAldrich]

4 Bespoke. 3 Rollerballs with caps. One cap has a clip. Clicker is a parker with a Schmidt SKM-88 transmission and a turned nib. Rollers are 12Mx.8Mx3. C and C welcome. Thank you.

Excellent, and agree with Mal on the clicker. Well done. You make it look simple although I know it took some fine measurements, calculations and experience. Thanks for posting.

I really like them! Can you share what kind of clip you used and what the thread size is at the clip?

Thanks. The challenge is awesome. The freedom to create is hard to describe.

Thanks. Next one I am going to try a flat top with a larger diameter and see if I can use 12M clip off a Jr. Gent.

It does not have a clip. A nib and body connected by 10Mx1x1. Clip is the next try.

I received some questions. I thought it would be ok to post;


In your recent thread, titled "Bespoke Pens" .....
I'd like a few more details about the blue click pen on the right side, please.

1) What diameter hole is at the tip, allowing the refill through ..... ?
2) How long is that drilled portion ..... ?
3) What size is the next drilling ..... ? . . That drilling has to accommodate the spring ... might even be of a size that the full diameter of the refill would fit into.

I used a #37 (.104 or 2.66mm) for the parker refill tip.
I used a B for the rest of the body (.238 or 6MM).
The SKM-88 has a 7MM tap. I used an approx equivalent of 6.2MM for alumilite.
The length of that thread is twice the length of the thread on the SKM-88.
The spring will go to the bottom of the B hole.
The narrow portion of the parker is about an inch long.
I made the #37 hole around 1/4 deep. After turning to fit it ended up about .15.

I think I answered all of them. Let me know how you do. Any improvements you can see let me know.
