Here are 2 stylus pens I made up from blanks I made myself. The first is a Sierra kit that has the stylus replacing the cap end the second is a Gunmetal Fancy Slimline with a stylus cap I picked up seperately.

(Still working on editing the photos so they don't look too naff.)

I think choosing the gunmetal kit to go with the dark blank made it look more unassuming than if I had gone for Chrome or Gold. :thinks:

I am looking forward to receiving the Zeta kits I have just ordered from Taylor-Mirfield for a green blank and a purple blank I cast today.

Many thanks for the feedback on the slimline. I have been trying out different shapes for comfort when writing but it must look good as well. Back to the drawingboard methinks.:thinks:

I agree with the others, nice blanks but the shape of the slimline is not to my liking.

Stealth tappers mate with a handy pen or two. Making the top part of the Slimline skinny gets a bit hairy just a thin veneer of plastic left if you get a bit of tightness in pressing the blank will crack this is why I go for the Streamline centre bands I buy from Timberbits.com allows a fatter pen IMHO. Love the blanks thanks for showing. When I saw the article recently on Whitby I pricked up my ears and eyes about the Jet you know word association and all that but Whitely looks very close to Whitby. Hows the club going?
