Clockpunk - Clockworkpen (Howto)
In this tutorial we build a tiny clockpunkpen
made with clockwork parts.
The pen is designed like a key .
and can be worn as necklaces.

What You Need
Preparation
if some writing is on the ball pen refill, then grind it away.
Grip
[ Pic 1 ]
Remove the screws of the terminal block.
Screw nuts on the screws.

Body
[Pic 1]
Sliding two brass tubes with a spring in between, on the ball pen refill.
[Pic 2]
Screw a large gear, with two screws on a terminal block. As in the photo.
Mount the whole, on the ball pen refill.
you, can also use just one screw in the middle.
This is in itself a finished Stempunk pen that looks like a key.
Even without the gear, you can write with this pen.
good for a toolkit as a mini pen.
In order to write perfect, some training is needed.
