Excellent pen for many reasons

Comments On Nov 24, 2022:Of the 200+ pens I have turned, this is the one I keep in my pocket. The generous amount of wood, the heft, and the magnetic tip all attract attention. It feels "right" in large hands; I simply enjoy writing with it.

Great seller

Comments On May 27, 2015:I really enjoy this pen, the magnet holds well and people seem to like the novelty. While drilling the longer barrel can be a challenge to some, I use my lathe to drill and have had no problems. The ceramic roller ball has a smooth flow and writes beautifully. My only dislike is the step down from the barrel to the nib not as comfortable as I would like.

Nice looking pen.

Comments On Oct 19, 2014:The longer shaft can be a challenge to drill. There is a ledge between the edge of the pen and the pen tip that is a little odd for my personal preference. The pen writes great and looks awesome. The magnetic cap holds on tight. This is a good quality kit.

My favorite pen!

Comments On Sep 06, 2014:I carry this pen with me all the time! It is unusual and often sparks a conversation about pen making. I not only sell a lot of these, (people really like the way the rollerball writes), but get many other orders because of it. Since it has a single barrel, you can product them twice as fast as 2 barrel pens. I would recommend the drill bit in the starter kit since it is long enough to drill the hole all the way through the blank.

Great features, not for extensive writing

Comments On Aug 03, 2014:Due to the design of the pen where the wood goes right to the tip of the pen makes it awkward to write with it. Either your fingers are on the brass too close to the writing surface or it is high where the wood is and then you have to create ridges so your fingers do not slide off the surface.
Features are great, I love the magnetic piece and it works well and I hope they create more models using the magnetic design.

Great and unique pen

Comments On Jan 19, 2014:Great rollerball pen! I wanted something that would show off some dogwood that I had for Christmas gifts. The magnet is very strong and the pen has a good feel.

Great Pen!

Comments On Oct 28, 2013:This is a great pen! The fit/finish is excelent and the single tube makes it quick and easy to turn. I love the magnetic cap because there are no threads to wear out when you post it. I selected the Chrome finish. I only wish that it came in Rhodium and Titanium gold. This kit is a real bargin for the way it turns out.

great pen, one hiccup

Comments On Jul 26, 2013:This pen is a solid performer. Displays the body material well. Having sold dozens of these, had one magnetic ring fall out of the cap. epoxied it in and is fine.

Favourite kit

Comments On Apr 30, 2013:This is a wonderful kit for all skill levels. My 13-year-old son enjoys his success with this kit. It poses no challenges for even novice turners, yet produces a wonderful pen to sit beside those high-skill pens in the display case. Of all the pens I give as gifts or sell at local artisan galleries, this one is the most popular. The magnetic postable cap and clean lines make it very popular. Best of all, it shows off wood beautifully and allows those 'Darn-this-wood-is-just-a-bit-too-short-for-a-two-piece-pen' scraps to be used appropriately.
