Just completed these.
Twist pen. Sierra transmission, built up on at least 3 different diameters of brass tube (I lost count!). Nib and finial turned from brass rod (playing with my new mini metal lathe) and clip hand made from brass sheet (a tedious filing and sanding job - and it's not perfect). I need to summon up the patience to have another go.
Click pen. Schmidt mechanism and turned aluminium nib. The mechanism behaves oddly with intermittent reluctance to function. I took it apart but could see nothing obvious - perhaps someone else has experienced this.
