I Mess this One UP

[Darley]

Like I say,I mess this one, want to disemssable the top barrel and every thing come out including the tube, glue the tube back in and the CA set before the tube is in, so I cut the tube but didn't glue the off cut to the other side ( my mistake )so when I want to put the clip in, the blank crack [xx(][xx(]

That's too bad, Serge! It WAS a nice looking pen. []

What a Beautiful pen. You can take the top off and use CA to fill the void. May need to remove clip to re-finish. Even the pro glue-ups will fail if there is force applied. The Corian Adhesive is brittle, when healed. Probally like CA, Won't stand "Shear" force...

Love the laminations... I have more 1" glue-ups...[]

What a shame, that's a beautiful pen!

Too bad, such a nice design....you DO plan on repeating this the correct way, I hope.

Ya know Darley when I make a mistake like that it's like dominoes, one messleads to the next until the thing is basically destroyed. At least you can tell it's a pen. Mine resemble a train wreck. You do nice work, just go do some more. Sometimes the imperfection is needed to uncover the perfection. Good luck,
