Your favorite kit

[Kendallqn]

So just curious about what folks like to turn when turning a kit? So what's your favorite?

Long Click from CSUSA and the Electra from Woodcraft.
I like the barrel length to show maximum material.

[Rolland]

The Baron and Sedona from Arizona Silhouette, I have never had one of the thread sections fail. Made both rollerball and fountain pens altho I change the nibs sometimes.

 

[NittanyLion]

Jr. Gent 2 & A Modified Slim.

Statesman and Jr Statesman II

Smitty Creekline...

My favorite is the good ol' cigar. The kit itself is plain enough and allows so much 'meat' to be left on the blank that it is a good showcase for most any blank.

 

[Kenny Durrant]

The Slimline. I guess it's one of the three I enjoy turning but the one I turn the most of. The kits are cheap and you can do several different things with them. I really like the cheap part because I give quite a few away.

 

[EN Pens]

Majestic and Art Deco. Elegant and easy to turn and assemble.

I'm with Kenny - I like the slimline because it's cheap and flexible. I give most of my pens away, so I get more bang for the buck this way.

I also like the Sierra style pens, but I haven't settled on a particular favorite.

 

[Janster]

...Gent Jr 1 and Smitty's V2 s. Also Berea Sierras.

For low end, I love modifying slimlines, or modifying Jr Gent I's. For High end, I like the laserlinez Eagle.

For big money I go with the Jr. Statesman, Retro is also a favorite, especially closed end. Mid-size, hard to beat the Cubano Hybrid. That hardware just looks and feels quality. Going slimmer, I like the Tetra stylus - same quality hardware look as the Cubano but can be made slimmer. Low end - Don has sold me on upgraded slims with better clips.

 

[Swagopenturner]

Sterling Silver Sedona. Just looks great no matter what blank you use or how you shape it.

 

[kingkeyman]

My personal favorites are the slimline pro, and the vertex. I like the eagle and desire as well. But my best sellers are the knights armor, and the bolt action.

Currently Gent II series

Since I'm new to turning I have not turned a big variety. But the slimline pens give me lots of practice. So I have ordered the 30 pen deal from Woodcraft. I will use them for give away and would like to donate to the guys in the military.

Whatever I am turning at the moment :wink:

 

[D.Oliver]

I like slimlines and cigars because using them allows you to get into the best contest.

Slimline Contest

 

[Smitty37]

Le Roi, Le Roi Elegant and SPW Caballero....I also enjoy turning 7mm pens but not necessarily slimlines.

 

[Bean_Counter]

Cigars, long clicks and the new V2 for smitty

 

[studioseven]

My favorite kit? PSI used to have a designer style pen that had a screw on cap. It came in at least three finishes. Unfotunately they are no longer available. I still have about ten of the kits left and save them for when I have special blanks.

[Richard Gibson]

PSI Classic and Baron/Navigator. Easy, clean, simple, well priced.

 

[firewhatfire]

I turn Cigars the most because that what I sell the most of. I like making kitless pens, just don't have the time due to filling orders.
