Blimey mate they look good. Thanks for showing them. It's nice to see some finished ones I've not turned. It's always nice to get a second opinion. :thumbs:

Woody I use Webster packs from our Chemist for the numerous medicines during the day. The contents are made up and before I can collect them its a firm rule that the contents are checked and approved by a qualified Chemist. Occasionaly I am one short in the pack even with such close control. When I make up blanks I use spare brasses so no problems always excess brass tubes on hand. When turning I lay out the parts on a tray in front of me helps me early in the process. I was moved by the missing clip quite a bummer I dont know how you can cope at times with the great variety of pen kits you buy together with the accompanying bushes etc.

When I bought kits they came with each individual part in its own dinky zip lock bag marveled at the patience someone had in doing that cause my fingering is difficult causing me to cut them open with the scissors. Bulk buys the kits came in packs of clips etc.

Liked your pens thanks for showing them. A mate of mine young fella did some work for me recently called in and I paid him on behalf to be reimbursed while we visited he retaught me a valuable lesson we all make mistakes it is how we react and solve them that really matters. The way you binned them is my treatment for defective blanks works for me too.

Brody your blanks looked the part in the pick of the group of them these turned revealing the promise they showed well made and consistent mate.
