I had been purchasing pieces and parts from Beaufort Ink in the pursuit of moving away from kits for a while. I still love kit pens - though I am selective about the ones I like to make - but the challenge of cutting some threads and doing a little extra math has been good for me. (I haven't given up on that, but on to the subject at hand.)

I spend a lot of time on the Beaufort site and kept coming back to the available kits. I finally grabbed a few in my last order, and am thrilled. Two were Tempest kits...and I usually stay away from click pens. This one is done with gold and an acrylic blank ("lava something-or-other" from Penn State). The reviews you folks have written about the quality of parts was no exaggerated, and I will certainly be purchasing more of these from Beaufort Ink. (Thanks, Phil!)

The other Tempest was done in chrome on African Ebony with a CA finish.

Time to place another order!

Two proficient pens. The variety of the first pen it looks like it was made from two different blanks.Your shaping of these kits is superior and the two pens show the kit in its true light. Well done mate.

Peter.
