Just had a chance to play with some pens my friend made with $55 kits.
As he told me these kits are as good as it gets in kits.
I could not help but notice that cap threads on these kits is way too loose and that makes a pen feel cheap no matter how much gold or shiny embellishment they put on it.
Am I wrong expecting nice "precision mechanical" feel from a $55 kit?
Is there any kits that don't have that problem?
I personally don't care about shiny stuff, gold or ornaments.
All I want is precisely made parts. You guys am I am sure know the feeling of playing with perfectly made mechanical parts - silky smooth movement, no play between parts etc. It's a pure joy. :yin-yang:
BTW My friend stopped making kit pens and moved on to bowls till somebody shows him a better kit.
