My goal was to make a Christmas pen. Not sure if I like the pen kit or the blank. The kit is the Phoenix from Woodturningz in gold and gun metal. The blank is an acrylic acetate called Candy Apple. Plus the transmission is very stiff. It's like the spring is too strong, or it has heavy grease in it, or both. I'll do some experimenting with different springs and see if it makes a difference.
