Joe,
Very nice pen. Looks better than my first but I'm getting better each pen I make. Great thing about pens is almost immediate satisfaction. Not long from start to finish.
damagi,
I have run across that same problem with a few pens. Usually you can place the clip at the top, then place the cap and press (don't like the word force) the assembly together. In one case I "reamed" out the hole in the clip a bit to get a better fit and then assembled. Possible the plating got a little thick on the clip or cap??
I too find myself acquiring pens and blanks. Usually add a few blanks or pen kits to an order to get the most of the shipping price or get free shipping. Great fun and people are amazed that "you made this!!"
Regards,
Dwight
