Penpal
Grand Master
My desire was to modify the button gold top by replacing it with an Opal mined and cut by my mate of 60 yrs where he is still actively mining 40 ft underground.
First step was to turn a simple hole recessed into a piece of Red Gum Blank a small clearance for the button to drop in then turn to a slip fit for the reversed top of the pen, using a flat punch tap tap out popped the gold rivet shaped button.
Top of the pen with gold button removed.
KIt Bag.
