Here's a bit on what I did for the clip inlay:

The final dimension for the inly was just under 3mm in diameter and only 1mm thick!

The filling system is actually really interesting. Very intelligent way of using the bulb filler.

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks! My intent with this design was to be able to make a bulb filler from materials not suited for it. Right now I'm in the process of making one from wood - Lignum Vitae.

It's nearly complete! I'm just waiting for some items needed to really polish up the inside of the ink chamber. Pics to follow as soon as it's done.
