The pen looks great to me! If this is a terrible attempt and you don't want anyone else in your area to see it then just ship it on up here to Canada:wink:. I promise I won't tell them who did it.:biggrin:
John, for your first one it is pretty good. Keep trying, it takes some time to get them right, I've done over 100 of them and still haven't made a perfect one yet. Probably never will with the way I rate my work.
Sorry no tutorial that I know of. Just a lot of playing around and making mistakes and hopefully learning from them. Seems like sometimes I have to make the same mistake more than once to learn from it.
