I watched them earlier. I like his work . Not sure it will fetch $10k though. I don't like the fat tip or the gap under the clip.
I would like to know what happened to his partnership with Will Stelter.

Will has his own YouTube channel now. From what I gather Will tutored under/with him for a year, then headed out to do his own thing.

Reminds me of something David Broadwell once commented: "if the clip doesn't touch the barrel, it's not a clip ... it's a hook"

Not sure I understand why he would put that much time, effort, and money into the pen body and put a very cheap click mechanism in it. I guess it helps his story that he turned a three dollar pen into an expensive one, but isn't it like putting a Yugo motor into a Mercedes? I'm not qualified to judge his skill, but I was very impressed with his abilities (except for the part where he injured his thumb on the lathe). I really liked the way the pen looked too. However, if you are making a super premium pen, don't you use premium parts / materials throughout. I just don't get it...
Sounds like a good idea for a YouTube channel - if it doesn't already exist
Edit: yep, they already beat you to it (sort of), a Yugo with 2 Cadillac V8s.
