Thanks all. They are not too bad to use, of course I have a small hand. I am hooked on the no center band. It's been weeks since I did one with.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Gerry-I know some people don't like beads, but I wasn't sure if I was a bead lover till I tried it.

Corey-I too have a hard time and if you were able to inspect the pens a little closer you would see that there is room for improvement.

Well, off to the lathe to try another.
