I'm not a prolific poster on this board, so only a handful of you really know me... but for those that do, you likely know I walk a fine line between tool/supply "collector" and tool/supply "hoarder" :wink: I'm the guy who purchases excess inventory from places who don't want to worry about splitting up $2k worth of stuff into $20 bags for 100 different people. From time to time, I need to clean the shelves of the items I have purchased in bulk but either don't need or have no use for such an extreme quantity.
As such, I'd like to put together a little "beginner's kit". In would include a basic book on penturning, some basic kits (slimlines and the sort), various blanks, bushings, and so on. Other than tools, it would be an all-inclusive starter pack for someone who has an interest in getting into pens (IAP lurkers?), but doesn't know where to start. I already have all of the above, but I'm not sure if I've missed anything... feel free to post your own list of what you would have liked to have when you first started.
Thoughts, suggestions, (and donations) gladly accepted...
