A Geoff component set done in Brazilian Cherry.
This pen is a whopper compared to a Cigar component set.

We had them over here years ago and made a dome to fit on the top to finish it off it was called the jumbo kit it also come with a golf clip but it never did catch on no one liked em

Nicely turned and finished but.... YuK!

Les,

Have you posted these on the IAP forum? Most of us are viewers or contributors over there as well. Got to say that jatoba is not a wood that inspires me that much, and I'm afraid it doesn't do much for the pen, but then the only thing that would do much for that design would be a good bonfire. Sorry Les but it's horrible!

 

[Grump]

Absolute pile of pooh init?
Just like the ones I did, only fit for the bin which is where they ended up.
Still have a kit and bushes somewhere if anyone is stupid enuff to want them.

Very well turned and finished pen, but as far as the kit goes Yuk (like Paul said)

 

[Les ELm]

Yep, I thought it was a unusual pen, but surprisingly I did sell 6 of these.

There is nothing wrong with the turning or finish of the pen, and i can understand why someone would want such an unusual pen, but i doubt that i would make this pen. I went off the Cigar kit as i felt it was on the large side and it wasn't a good seller for me ..

Hmmm, Unusual - Eamonn, your title as master of understatement is under threat. Looks like a medical implement or the plug from the Titanic. Has about as much elegance as George Bush's vocabulary. I sold some Polaris Pens once so I know how you must have felt, the shame, embarrassment, humiliation. I guess you got over it too!

 

[Penpal]

Wow poison pen get that kit,tote that barge. I see a future because it is a utility pen that will garner sales everywhere albeit a niche market IMHO a worthy pen not easily lost or damaged. In my hospital visits I make for the Vietnam Federation as a visitor to vets and their families so many people who would benefit from such a pen easy to see, hold and using a quality long lasting refill.How refreshing to see disseminated pens also a quick how to to answer the continual how did you do it etc.

Thanks Les for the variety as for apologising for the your pics are explicit and clear IMHO.

Kind regards Peter.

Tell me how much I owe you and I will have it please, I have wanted to get at least one from rizheng but they are so popular they have been out of stock for months.

Nobody, dont do cornflakes. Just the coffee and toast. Take no offence, your workmanship is great, its just the stage props from the Guns of Navarone I cant get to grips with!

Whats the kit called with Rizheng Peter?

 

[Buckeye]

Without getting it up on screen, it's something like the Oversized Pen Kit, I will have a look tomorrow and if it's not that I will let you know, but I am 99% sure.

When I said they were so popular they were out of stock I may have been paraphrasing "the kit is shite and we managed to sell them all so no more"

Speak for yourself, good staple diet is cornflakes, with milk of course..

Don't be concerned Les, I think some is lost in the British sense of humour and wit.

I agree that your workmanship is great but it's not my bag either, having said that I did a panache pen once and I nearly used that for an axial stand for a large truck, (big rig)

I know, I wanted to see if there was just one left in some plating so that I could actually make one as I have a piece of 2 x 2 x 12 Iroko that I have nothing better to do with.
