Here's some pictures of the first pen's I've ever made, they all turned out great and they all operate as they should and the ballpoint sticks out past the tip just right.

Nice set of pens. You certainly jumped in with an assortment of kits! You also made some great choices of blanks. Well done.

It's addictive, once I got started I couldn't stop, I have about 30 more pin kits of different variations to make.

I'm going to probably have to try to sell some if I'm going to keep making them, I don't know if they will be easy to sale or not.

I won't be able to make any more for at least 8 weeks, I'm getting ready to have carpal tunnel and cubicle surgery next week.

Looks like you hit a home run.
That's a great batch of first pens!

Very Cool Collection! - Congratulations. I hope your surgery goes well! - Dave

Very nice with a variety of styles and bold wood grain. Interested in the ones lacking the center band. Kit name?

The ones without the center bands are called Foot Prints In The Sand, I bought them from Pen State International ( PSI ).

Saw the top cap but not familiar with the kit. Thanks for sharing the photos. What's next on the menu?

I got some click pen's and some bolt action kits that I'm going to try after I get over surgery.

Here's my first pen's ever.
