Hi Guys and gals,
I am new to pen making. I am a twenty plus year veteran to DIY projects, so I am very handy with tools. Lathe work is a foreign area. I am picking up a Jet mini lathe this weekend and will be ordering supplies form Penn State, Woodcraft and others. As I look at some of the drop dead gorgeous pens that some have posted, I noticed that these pens all seem to have higher end hardware on them...the clips, the ends and even the bands in the middle. Is there somplace that sells these parts individually and that are classier than what is supplied in the average kit? I am going to start on the basic kits, but would like to graduate to the nicer pens in several years time.
Thanks,
Lou
