    Default Custom Pen's

    PSI States side, and a number of carriers up here are stocking rather interesting pen kits that normally just require turning parts of the main body.
    I've been making a few, originally just for family, but interest has grown and I have started to acquire different kits to make pens I've never seen in stores.
    Figured I'd post a thread in here where I've seen dip pens, fountain pens etc.
    When a razor beats me down, or I'm just not in a happy place to work with delicate steel, these are very cathartic alternatives to still give a sense of accomplishment.
    These are the latest kits I made with acetate blanks for a Corvette club member at work who wanted car lover pens.

    The shift kit pen clicker is a great distraction when meetings run into OT..
    Just wanted to share.

    Nicely done! I appreciate a nice pen, I spend a lot of time writing at work! The shift pen is really interesting, it would be great to have in a meeting I haven't ventured into trying to create a pen yet, but hope to eventually.

    Thanks Ernie.
    I have always enjoyed writing as well and never forgave whoever stole my grandfather's montblanc fountain pen from my room in college.
    I have found some nice quality nibs and will be turning a few fountain pens before Christmas for my daughter and son, and maybe myself as well. Nothing flows as well when creative writing is the focus I always found for some reason. The cursive script and the way the ink slowly drew into the paper. Felt very artsy, lol.
