Got this kit from Helen just to give it a try it has a 10mm tube and only two bits to press in the wood is Spalted Hawthorn with my usual polish finish a very easy kit to make up just got to see if they sell Helen sells them on ebay £8 each which seems a bit over the top to me

Just goes to show how worthwhile this forum is, you've saved me 8 quid Woody if I ever see them I'll give them a bit of a swerve.

Don't get me wrong it's just the look I don't like all the fittings fit perfectly and seem to be good quality so if you like the look of the pen then go for it the cap being magnetic fits very positivity so in that respect it is a good kit

Nothing wrong with the style and finish Woody, but i am with the majority here regarding the kit .. I just think that the clip end looks to dwarfed compared to the long barrel ... :thumbs:

The magnet does pop out of the cap after a while dad, its the ring at the bottom end.
Eventually In Georges case sooner not later, the magnet stays on the pen and the lid gets lost, all the ink from the rollerball refill flows out in your pocket so you have a black leg and black Khaki shorts.
