A new pen kit from Vinny

[Woody]

These were delivered today they are a 7mm kit and the quality is excellent with quite substantial fittings it is the concave pen from Vinny at the turners workshop I have turned these two as per instructions the only thing different to the slimline apart from the shape is you have to press the mechagnisam in quite a long way with only 13/16" sticking out I'm not to sure about the designe so I will be going back out after my tea and make one without the concave enjoy Concava Pen Kit Range - Pen Kits - Shop
This one has a 13mm centre on the concave

This one has a 12mm centre on the concave

Saw them on the site, and was put off by the concave bit, so would be very interested to hear how it goes without it!

Of course, being from your fine hand Woody, it will be nothing short of fantastic!!!

Watching the progress mixed feelings mate.

Here is one without the concave in Brown Mallee and to be honest I prefer it what do you think ? I just noticed the clip is spring loaded
With concave


Without the concave

Much better without it

I think I like them Woody, I'll have to give them a go before making up my mind though. You've certainly made a good job of them.

How about a straight top and a straight bottom, just turning in for the nib?

 

[Woody]

Much better without it

I agree Ed I'm going to strip the other two down but if you dont try you never know mind it may be a struggle because of the depth you have to put the mechanism in twice as far as usual

Like it without, and like the kit too.

Will add a few next time I'm ordering form Vinnie!

Don't know, the centre band is putting me off I think.

Better without though

Concave isn't too bad. It's different.
They're all great looking pens.
Nice!

 

[Doug]

Lovely workmanship mate, but I'm rather undecided

 

[silver]

I like it either way Granddad.. Both look good. Usual high quality finish as well..

Kit doesn't look like a cheapo either..

 

[Terry]

I like them Woody and the turning is up to your usual high standard !!!

I have done a few of these, they sell quite well.
I quite like the concave.
This is the only one I have left the moment sold the rest

When I first saw them on the web site I was not taken by them but having seen some here i Have to admit they are growing on me.

I like them both woody.
Wish I'd seen them when I was in last week as would have bought a couple (as if I hadn't spent enough already)

Hey woody

For what it's worth I like the concave, I think it works better on the lighter wood too.
