Not a bad pair for a new boy Steve:funny::funny::funny:

Both of them are worthy of being proud of Steve and worth the extra car in getting the right drill bit for the job well turned and finished.:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Steve,
this pair is very classy and elegant, and the blank in gorgeous.
And imho are worth much of 60£.
I saw people spending 50€ for a sodding plastic Pelikan, plastic!!!!
How sad can be, to spend so much on a couple of plastic tubes fitted with a nib and not spend a little more and get a hig class pen like the one you turned?

Thanks for showing me these 2 beauty
Francesco
