Shortening the Overall Length of the Click Sierra Pen

 
Shortened desert ironwood Sierra (left) and an unaltered blue maple burl Sierra (right)
Crafted by Reed Kempton

Thanks to Reed Kempton for the instructions for this modification.

The Sierra click pen is in some cases too long for a shirt with short pockets.  In addition, the adapter (the chrome extension) for the Parker refill is confusing to some pen makers as well as their customers.

One means of solving the pen that is too long and the confusion is to use a regular Sierra tube and trim the length of the tube to 1.882" long.   After cutting the tube for a shortened Sierra pen the Uni-Ball refill will no longer work and there is no need for the chrome extension.

 

To convert the Carbara Pen to a Pencil
A special "Thanks!" to Tom Mullane for his great idea!
Tom's Website


Note:  The overall length of 3.790" is critical in order for the pencil mechanism to work properly.
 


The Olympia Ballpoint Pen

Olympia Ballpoint Pen Instructions PDF

 
One of the nice things about the Olympia pen is that there is flexibility in it's length.  This kit come with two 'long' tubes.  Each tube, together or independently, can be shortened by as much as 3/16" to achieve a different look and balance.  The instructions do not indicate this modification as the prototype kit was supplied with a 'short' 7mm lower tube and a longer 'O' upper tube and the instructions were written based on the 'short / 'long' tubes).

Special note effective September 1, 2005: the transmission adapter has a small end and a large end.  Install the adapter SMALL end first into the upper tube.  The small end of the adapter is actually what grabs and controls the transmission.  If you install the transmission adapter backwards the refill will not extend and retract.

The instructions, as originally written, called for an 'O' size drill bit for the upper tube.  Some pen makers prefer a little larger hole to allow more glue between the brass tube and the pen blank.  For that reason we changed the drill bit size to an 8.2mm.  This larger size offers a better glue joint than the 'O' bit.  A 'P' bit can also be used.

If you have questions or concerns concerning the Olympia pen please feel free to give us a call on clarification.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
Jesus Christ and the American G.I.
One died for your soul and the other for your freedom.

By Danielle   "A proud Army wife"
 

 

A friend sent me the following:
 

What is a Veteran?   A "Veteran" -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of up to and including his or her life.
