First Electra

[ToddMR]

Well I bought an Electra pen kit from WC last night on my way home from work. So I used the freebie from exotics called Burnt Copper. The middle could be a tad thinner, but over all I really like the pen and the kit. I could see myself buying more of these kits. Let me know what you think, good/bad.

I like it... never done one of them..... makes me think I should buy a few to try.

Nice looking pen Todd.
I also like the Electra. It has a nice look and feel for me. I tend to turn them bushing to bushing without a "bulge" in them. Makes them a little sleeker IMO.
My supplier gets these kits in with all of the hardware matching, i.e. the chrome kit is all chrome, no gold accents and vice versa. I prefer them that way.
Again, nice looking pen.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah as I was working I saw I had a very small buldge in the middle, but my tool started hopping on me, best I can explain it, and I figured since I was this close it would be a pain to have something bad happen. Most of my turnings as of late have been b2b, but I figured why risk destroying this nice blank hehe.

Very nice Todd. I love the hardware and the blank. Nicely Done.

I really like these kits!
and I agree with being thinner in the middle, I prefer them that way too.
