Paul hd Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Hi All. This is one of the cheap twist pens. Normally this would be made with two blanks, but like the click pencil there is a way of making it work so you do not need the centre ring. Thanks to RJBWoodTurner for the tip. I personally like the look of the pen without the band. I also decided not to install the pocket clip. Very minimalist. The wood is Olive wood, really nice to turn. don watson, Scrolling Steve, TripleJScroller and 1 other 4 Quote

Lucky2 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Posted June 7, 2016 Paul, I think it's a gorgeous pen, but, I disagree with leaving the clip off. Without the clip to stop it from rolling, you will be forever picking it up. Plus, most men carry their pens in their pocket, and without the clip to hold it in place, it will always be falling out of your pocket. Len Paul hd 1 Quote

It is as rewarding as the scroll saw. Paul, I think it's a gorgeous pen, but, I disagree with leaving the clip off. Without the clip to stop it from rolling, you will be forever picking it up.

If I were to make a pen for someone I would probably install the clip or give them the choice. For me I love the uninterrupted look. I Like it.It is a Beautiful Pen.Love the stand ya made for it. Thank you. The stand is a design that is from the Steve Goode site. It is a real nice design. Quote
