My wife and I got down in the shop today and turned a couple of Johnathan Brooks blanks. This is the one I turned, a swirly blue/gold on a Polaris click.
These Polaris pens are a pain in the butt compared to a slimline pen. You have a metal slug you have to press down inside the barrel, then there's a bunch of small parts you have to assemble on top of the pen.
That's very true! I ended up trying to take a video of it outside on a sunny day just to show that part off with a pen I made from it a while back. Even so, it still looks awesome!
