Yeah, you've taken a backward step there  :-(
clipped_by doesn't leave any surfaces where the parent object is, just opens
it up like a empty can instead of a solid one.  That was the idea I had in
mind anyway.  Maybe I should have mentioned to 'inverse' it (the clipping
object) or something, thought you'd have gotten the idea yourself how it
worked.
Looks like that's what happened anyway, that you left the part you wanted
gone.
