This would of been a nice pen except for one thing, the pen is too small for the blank!!! I thought I was making a Zeta and drilled a 9mm hole in the blank, the zeta bushes fitted perfectly in the tube. When it came to assembly I could push the bits in with absolutely no resistance, I tried...

A few people have ask me for the plans of pen stand I made the other day I used 1/2" corian but there are plenty of other suitable materials I drilled 10mm holes before I cut it out for the pen slots in the top but this can be adjusted for any pen size also seeing as some may not be happy with...
