I've turned only 4 pens so far. I've found it quite enjoyable and ordered some more kits and blanks from Woodturningz. I also ordered some Parker gel refills because I really didn't care for how the stock Wall Street II/Sierra refills wrote. However, when I switched the stock for the gel, I immediately noticed the refill has a smaller tip diameter, so that it moves around in the tip of the pen as you write. Is this just the way things are, or just an issue with these particular refills?
It's a shame because they write so much better, but the pen feels sort of wobbly and makes little clicking noises as the refill hits the insides of the pen barrel. I was going to start replacing the stock refills for these when selling the pens. (Sold all three I've made so far)
