I like that pen, Jim !!!!
And to partially answer JohnT ... I like all the photos. For me it is a pleasure to look at all sides of the pen. . And it is also useful to look at the same side with two photos taken from opposite ends of the pen (different perspective).
There are a number of advantages.
1) a better look at the kit components (sometimes can tell if the clip is solid metal or folded metal)
2) in the case of laminates (like Spectraply, Dymondwood, etc.) can tell if it is straight or angle cut
3) can better tell if the kit you used is one that I would like to buy and try
4) get a better idea of the finish
5) can sometimes see how well the turning blank matches the size of the hardware (!!)
6) can better tell if the blank has interesting wood grain, knots, acrylic pour features
7) get an indication of the protrusion of the ballpoint nib for that pen kit style
8) compare your results with what I like to see in my own pens
9) other things that I cannot think of right now
Keep up the good work, Jim !!!!
