Last minute Christmas pen

[darrin1200]

Had a fun Christmas Eve day. My daughters boyfriend ended up staying for Christmas, so I headed to the shop to make something special.

I have been meaning to try using an skm88 clicker. Found the smallest spare clip I had on hand and a piece of "Superman" blank I tried pouring last year.
It's 12mm diameter, with Parker refill. Had a couple of oops, hence the black band. (It was planned to be green )

I'm quite happy with the first one, and plan to make more.
Merry Christmas everyone.

I think it looks great even with the black band

Do you have a current source for gold SKM-88 clickers that you care to disclose? I'm getting ready to use my 1 one & only.

Sorry Rick. I got mine from Richard Greenwald, and unfortunately he retired. I still have a couple of black ones from him as well.
I don't know who bought him out, but I hope they come forward.

TNX Darrin. I suspected that. I got my only gold from Richard too, along with a dozen or so black ones just prior to his retirement.

Nice Christmas pen. I like the black band.

LOL It was supposed to be a green band until a slight over torque, shaping the nib end. It's still not bad for my first, but I want to go thinner.
