Hey all... I have been making pens for 3 years but nowadays I started to make kitless pens. But I have many questions for that. I am really sorry if I open an opened topic before.
Starting with my first question.
I want to learn how some pens add their clips to a line hole without a ring... I...
All black Japanese ebonite with an Atrax clip. I was focused on the polishing and I’m happy with it. I usually go for way more color in my pens but the shine on this one is the appeal for me.
There is a couple of reference guides here and a couple of YouTube vids out on making clips but besides that,I don’t see much.
I see Castro has a great vid on turning 50 cal brass into clips but is there a place I can go to learn how to make these things from scratch like cutting and bending...
I’ve started making my first kit-less fountain pen and I want to try my hand at making the clip. I’m down to making the clip and instead of altering an existing one I want to start with making my own. My question is what thickness of metal should I use? Does it depend on the material?

I never had a lathe until a friend recently gave me a 1955 Shopsmith. I fixed it up, replaced all the bearings and made a few other modifications and am now learning to turn. Pens seemed like an obvious first choice.
Here is a picture of 2 of my first 4 pens. They...
I like the Cigar but just can't stand the clip which looks rather cheap IMO - but the kit is cheap indeed. I was wondering if there is any way to replace it with something nicer which would look like the Jr Gent clip for instance, or something in between.
I'm also having a closer look at other...
Here's a couple pens I made that have a Gibeon Meteorite as the clip. The meteorite is around 4.5 billion years old and has a special crystalline structure where the metal cooled over millions of years while hurtling through space. It fell to Earth in prehistory, and was found in Namibia in...
I have a friend who has CEO style from psi.The pen needs the clip replaced.The problem is I beleave the top has been glieded on "it will not unscrew". Doe's anyone have a spare? I was thinking it would be easier to change the whole top cap?
I hope I have posted this in the right place. Anyway I'm looking for some 10mm golf club pen clips. I can't find any. Only the slimline. Does anyone know why the don't make a 10mm. And if they do make them where can I get the 10mm. Thanks Tim
As the title states, I have a custom order for a caduceus medical symbol clip on a sierra pen.
I know PSI sells the medical symbol clips for their 'designer series' kits, but I think that would be too small to fit a sierra, wouldn't it?
Do you know anyone who sells these??? I need it asap...
