WOW!!!
Robert, The mechanics of a pen are pretty straight forward,drill a hole,turn it, and run a few threads, the mystery is making it look like this.
Some people are lucky enough to realize that they can coordinate between their minds eye
and their hands.
You Sir, are one of those fortunate few,there are those of us that will duplicate your
exact steps a thousand times and still the end result will by comparison look like
chewed gum.
Beautiful Pen.

I do also, but I don't touch them after that because that's the closest it's going to look like Roberts' pen
