Not too sure on this one , nice kit but too chunky with nowhere to put the cap when in use.
Will be giving it to my solicitor for xmas .
She has been draining me dry for the past 4 years, Bloody divorce. :down:

Nicely turned and pictures looking much better as well. Could do with brightening a little (that's me being picky again.. ), apart from that much better..

I like Purple Heart, nice wood to work with.

Johnny, The kit is neat closed but open the design suffers with the skinny front of the pen the main body needs slimming. I see a term of working on one type of pen kit knock it into shape then the next etc.

With a plethora of different bits and pieces to go with the styles I feel for you at turning time, I still feel I have not exhausted the Slimline yet with opportunities.

Kind regards Peter.:goesred:
