I have to say I like making these kits. They're a simple one barrel design with only two couplers that press in easily. I don't care much for the hexagonal shape but it keeps the pen from rolling off your desk as long as the cap is on or posted, although I don't post the cap myself. I cast the blank this weekend with opaque blue dye that I added a touch of House of Kolor white ice pearls to, the other color is sky blue mica with nothing added. I painted the tube white which really shows through and drilled the blank then set it aside.

I glued the tube in when I got home from work today then turned, sanded, & buffed. It took me about 1.5 hours but I leisurely smoked a cigar at the same time. I'm still very slow at this, I have to take my time if I want a good end result. I'm sure that speed will come with experience.
I made this for my new coworker, she really liked mine so I asked what color she would like and she said blues. She's been doing a great job, and after many months of doing a two person job by myself I was glad to get some help, and great help at that. Just a little gift to welcome her to the clinic.
