And occasionally I get asked to fix something. Usually I can just replace a part. I can't get into really complicated repairs liike solvent welding. I'll leave that to Ron Zorn.

So here's an Onoto Minor cap I made. Whole new cap. Black ebonite.

Here's a cool one. I was contacted to look at an old Joe Cali pen. The cap lip had broken off.

What I did was remove the clip and cut off the bottom of the cap, then made a new threaded lip to replace the old threads with.

I was told that I could replace the whole cap if I had to, but I really wanted to keep as much of the original pen as possible.

Shawn,

 

Awesome colors on the new Townsend. I normally prefer pens of all the same material, but I really like the color scheme you used here.

 

Very impressive repairs on the other pens. Nice to bring old pens back to usefulness and life.

 

Well done!

You're making me rethink my pen design...

Pretty pens and very nice repair. Your photos move me to both purchase a pen from you and to try my hand at making pens. Thank you.
