In my opinion, Constant is not only a nice guy, but brilliant. His kits are some of my favorites - if not my favorites. Of the 20 that I kept for myself at least 7 are his. Having said that and knowing Constant's intolerance for imperfection,
I think he would like to know if any were unhappy with his kits/their experience. I share some of that frustration too and it has been expressed directly to him. I am grateful for living within two miles of his shop. WHENEVER, I stop- by UNANNOUNCED, he drops everything to help me. Maybe, Constant can benefit from having a few clones
. He stands behind everything he makes and/or distributes. He has also managed to produce SS kits at a price point that many are likely to find affordable and can be resold (as a completed pen) at a premium. It is hard for me to express my frustration when you not only respect the product, but
more so the person. I hope Constant and other reads this in the noble and deferential spirit in which is was intended.
