Which kit and plating do you like?

[Roos85]

Which kit and plating is your favorite to make? I am a fan of chrome and gold rollerballs and cigars because they are cheap to make but I am thinking about stepping my game up to more expensive platings... Doesn't seem to be a lot of different ones out there in some of the kits.

Would like to see what everyone loves turning...

Thanks

Long Clicks are my choice. Plating depends on the material turned. Bl/Ti, Gold/Ti, Chrome are the three I use.

Those are some very cool kits, where do you get them from??

Lau Lau, CSUSA and Exoticblanks have the kits.

cigars are by far my favorite, especially the click cigars. but they only come in 2 platings.

Only been turning about 3 years but, I would have to say cigar pens are probably the best so far. Dependable mechanisms, wide varity of plating options, and easy to turn.
Also would have to agrue the plating depends on the blank. Blue goes well with silver, green and purple go well with gold. Probably black T/N is my favorite, goes with almost any blank.
