Segmented pen kit

[glenpen]

My first attempt using the segmented pen kit, the wood is Plum. Not sure I like it but having 5 more kits to make up I'll have to see if others like them.

Hi if you want to see a naff kit done well Johnny 5 is your man....but a nice piece of turning and finishing there...it just dosent do it for me either:wink:

 

[bassethound]

Another no for the kit mate

 

[johns486]

Nice finish and turning looks great but the kit is a no, but that is just me.

 

[billyb_imp]

It looks well turned & finished Glen

But like a few others i'm not keen on the kit

 

[edlea]

May be one that looks better in the flesh than on a photo ?

 

[woodhacker]

nicely done Maybe its the knurled look thats putting people off, plain fitting may work differently

 

[Bill Mooney]

Sorry the kit's not for me.

 

[glenpen]

Thanks

I'm glad all your comments are like mine. The only way of finding out is to buy a kit and try it, unfortunately because of the postage being fixed I bought 5 for the same postage. I just wish you could buy one at a cheaper postage. Looking for a fair ground to give them the tatty pens for a stall prize instead of them giving away gold fish.
Good job I live in Southport I could go to the pleasure beach, unless you have any other ideas. ( not rude )

I'm in agreement with the majority here. Nicely turned and finished but awful looking kit
The worrying thing is that someonedesgned that kit and liked it enough to mass produce it

Noooooooo.

But its made from wood Brian!

I agree with every one else, But with the other 5 kits, leave the band out, in the middle of the lower blank.

Well it does give us a look at a kit that we may have been unsure of Glen, sure it will help make up our minds whether we should invest in some or not ..

Good workmanship in the making of it though Glen ..
