Three things I learned today ... there may be more :biggrin:
1) Berea has a new website design
2) Berea offers a pack of 5 "slimlines" (called Sleek Line) for $6.50
.... See also jzerger's thread of today: http://www.penturners.org/forum/f14/slim-line-mechanisms-134245/
3) Ed Brown says you can make 5 of these pens in an hour !!! (check out the Exoticblanks website, searching for Longline ). He even implies you can get rich quick this way :biggrin:
.... Here it is: Exotic Blanks :: Pen Kits :: Pen Kits (By Pen Kit Name) :: Sleek Longline Slimline :: Sleek Longline Slimline Pen Kits (5 Pack) - Chrome
.... For me it takes 15 minutes to cut one blank and drill the hole ( after I find the drill bit ! ); another 15 to glue in the tube .......
.... I guess that means I am a candidate for Derek's Contest for the Turning Challenged !!!! :biggrin:
