Closed end twist

[scrollsawwoodart]

I am looking to do a closed end twist pen. I have read some of the articles in the library and see how to turn the pen with both closed end and a closed end with a insert but I was wondering how I could modify the twist mech. so that I can replace the ink if it were to run out?

Any thoughts?

Jesse: What kit are you using? For some, such as the cigar, you can simply unscrew the nib to replace the refill.

A twist pen with a closed end upper barrel would just pull apart like any other twist pen . The upper barrel separates from the transmission as usual , slimline , comfort , Jr Gent , cigar , even a one piece pen would pull off the transmission the same as a regular version of these pens .

IDIOT!!!!

I totally F'ed this one up and showed a true greenhorn moment. As stated everything would just pull apart as normal the pen would just not have a cap and clip.

Sorry about this dumb question and for ldb for setting me straight. I had the whole setup backwards in my head.

Sorry for the newbie brain fart.

yup me too. (See current threads about backwards cigar tubes!) Sometimes the fix (or realization) is the funnest part!
