Beautiful pen! I was reading your thread on step-less construction and did not really understand. Now I do. It looks great!
 
Very Nice. Love the blank and your rings. The "stepless" construction is different and I like that too! I will be giving that a try. Thanks for sharing.
Do a good turn daily!

I added info to that thread that you may find useful when you try it out. I will be making more. Fat pens aren't for everyone and it has a sleeker look and feel. At some point I will do some at 12mm. 11mm could be problematic for a FP but should work well for a rollerball.

Looks like a lot of planning. Curious about the design process here. The pen seems to tell a story. Very cool.

the design developed over time, based on my wife's wants and likes. Then how to make it happen in a small package.

Step less barrel construction

I am going to work on a prototype step less. This seems to be the only way to make a pen as slim as I would like and they look sleeker and feel better in the hand. it would appear fairly straight forward. I know the cap will have to stop on the section, requiring a little alteration of the...

Absolutely gorgeous pen Patrick. Your work is amazing. The style (or font) of the "M" really goes well with the color of the material. Very classy. If you don't mind me asking, how did you secure the ring to the cap? Is it just a friction fit? Thank you for sharing.

Thanks!
the ring came as adjustable with overlapping ends. I cut the ends so that they butt and masked the area then used gel CA to hold it. Time will tell how well it holds. If I do another I think I will bend returns where the ends meet and set them in shallow holes first. The best way, if I can engineer it would be to set it in under a cap like a clip.

Very nice, well executed and a little bit different too, which is really good to see.
I was thinking recently about how you might use a ring as a roll stop as I hadn't seen it before so I like what you've done here.
Cheers
