My wife asked me to make pens for the teachers who work for her. She asked me on Saturday and needed them by Friday. She didn't care what kits or materials. I have a bunch of corian from corian_king and gold slimline kits from a group buy with Smitty, so the cost was very low for materials. It was about an hour per pen to cut, drill, glue, square, turn, sand and polish. They were all wet sanded to 600, then wet MM to 12000 and finished off with Hut Plastic Polish.
