I know this may be an explosive topic but here it goes. Years ago I started pen turning. Not for the purpose of selling pens but to make "works of art" at lease in my own eyes. Pens that I would use, keep and give as gifts. I found out I could get beautiful pen blanks some made from exquisite and rare wood. But the pen kits were primarily of medium to low quality. Gold plating too thin, chrome finished the would rub or flake off. Mechanisms that failed or became loose.
So I am returning to pen turning with somewhat similar goals. So here comes the hand granade. Which pen kits out there are of good to high quality? What should I look at and what should I avoid? I don't mind spending $15-$30 for a good kit. Is that a reasonable budget?
