    Mistral pencil kit lead compatibility

    Hi guys, can anyone tell me if the 0.5mm Mistral pencil kit can be changed to a 0.7mm with a new insert from Beaufort Ink? I made one for someone with 0.5mm to use for crosswords but he keeps breaking the lead. Rather than buy a new pencil to replace it I'd rather buy the 0.7mm pencil insert...

    Alpha fountain pen kit

    Dan’s alpha kit (Taylor Mirfield) in several plating combinations has been out of stock for a while. Does anyone know the kit that it was copied from? I need to get some of the kits reasonably quickly and need to seek them from elsewhere.

    ID for this pen kit

    So today I had to go looking for a chuck part that was attached to a piece of wood but I came across a pencil kit from the last Daventry wood working show, a guess would be 2014. I have the web site and part number but they are not giving me any results when I do a web search. I was just...

    Minimum wall thickness of wood?

    The design of the pen I'm working on uses no finials or adornments, closed tapered ends, cigar like. If I'd had more time / had put more thought on how to do it, I'd probably have not used the brass tubes, but too late to change that now as I've bought the kit, so... The brass tubes will...

    Pen Kit Brass Tube

    I am after a pen kit that will incorporate this segmented piece. It's just over 80mm long. Does anyone know of a UK pen kit with a tube that will accommodate the blank shown without me cutting away any of the segmented area? Was looking at the TM Epsilon but it's only 65mm
