I've not see that kit before Johnny, its certainly different and I'm on the fence a the moment if I like it or not. However you have made a good job of turning and finishing them as usual. :thumbs:

The more I look at it I think how nice the kit would be if it was all just silver... Just a thought...

Another nice bit of turning and a great finish I like the kit Johnny but I have never been able to sell them I have some in my gallery that I made up a few years ago but I cant sell them yet a lot of people say how nice they are before buying a different pen

I have done may of these kits in the past and prefer to take the belt off and put my own on.
This kit would suit your fat top style Paul, I can send you one but no longer have the bushes for them.
Said that I better check I still have one or more of them init?

Oops nice pen Johnny I like these kits, a good adaptation of the slimline and very versatile as a one piece etc.
Good luck with the house viewing and the op init?

I like the finish and the timber but not sure about the kit, never seen it in the hand but seen many pictures and never really been interested enough to buy them.

I think Woody sums it up for me..
