New kits

[TaylorsMirfield.co.uk]

I have had a number of people suggest to me that they would like to see a pen sharing the looks and twist of the ZETA but in an longer length to allow for a 'his and her's' set? What do people think? Am I barking up the wrong tree or would be people be interested in a higher quality 'Sierra Style' kit?

What do people think of Timberbit Australiana Elegant Beauty? Would you like to see a British Elegant Beauty? Would people be interested in a design competition for the detailing on the end?

Over to you :)

Funnily enough Dan, i prepared a couple of the Timberbit Australiana Elegant Beauty kits last weekend .. I have had the kits well over a year now and i was pleasantly surprised by them to be honest .. So yes a British equivalent would be great ..

Why not I'd rather spend my money here.

Sound good I prefer the wider band near the clip as on the Executive Sierra Pen Kits yet I also like the little insert on the very top of the cap on the Australiana Elegant Beauty

This was the design i had in mind

 

[Woody]

I still use the Elegant Beauty from T/B so I would be interested as you say an excellent choice to go with the Zeta kit as a his n hers

Will the design be on the end cap if so then yes a good one especially if it is in a contrasting metal to match any bands etc

 

[Vic Perrin]

Like your thinking Dan. A British Elegant or Classic should do well. Keep them coming Dan

I was thinking a similar if not same design and the center band on the Zeta with the design on the end cap.

This sounds like a good idea to me Dan.

 

[Woody]

Not sure about the design on the end cap Dan especial on the zeta a lady's pen I think it would limit the market sorry yes there will be a market for them but a limited one yes I would buy a few of the sierras with it on but not that many

Did you have the original type or the second type Jim?

 

[Phil Dart]

Speaking for myself, I'd certainly like to see a Zeta type with a longer body, that takes the same tube as the Elegant Sierra, but thats just a practical matter from my own workshop. I glue up blanks in advance, and call them off to the lathe as I need them. The ES tube can be used for may different pens but the Zeta requires its own tube. On the British front, and I realise this will be a minority view, I'd prefer to see a Scottish version for added tourist appeal.

That would be a very sellable kit Dan. If this came with a press in disc on the end cap it could be easily changed for wood if desired... Just a thought.

Have it with two disc supplied a plain one and the other as your design, that leaves three possibilities the third being as Paul says

Is the Australiana a press in disc?

No Dan it comes as is but the gunmetal bit dose screw of and can be replaced with a plane one
