I'll cast my vote....


Single Barrel Finial Twist Parker Pen

Thats good stuff.

I'm going to nominate this one by Turbowagon. I think the custom finials really improve the look of the pen and now I can't imagine making a Jr. style pen without customizing the finial.

The tremendous amount of useful kit sizes data presented here has been, and will continue to be, of great help to me.

Thank you Wayne for the huge job you have done there!

Minwax finish. Taught me I didn't need no stinking CA finish. I already had some Poly laying around the shop not doing nothing..

While all the articles are great , I think the most useful one is the "Bushing and tube size" charts . Wayne put allot of effort into making this one the best of the year .

I'll go with Casting feathers by Shane Whitlock.http://content.penturners.org/articles/2010/casting_feather_blanks.pdf taught me a lot about how to prepare the tube for casting. I thought you just glued em on and cast.:biggrin:

 

[johncrane]

I also agree with Butch

 

[kevrob]

I'll have to agree with Butch. The bushing and tube size chart has been invaluable to me being a beginner, I can't even begin to count the number of times I have referred to it as I was ordering new pen kits to try out. While I am sure all tutorials take the authors a great deal of time, I could not fathom the amount of work and time that had to go into that chart.

They have all taught me a lot which makes it very difficult to pick one over the other.
