Ok - you asked for it. This is a photo of my first pen. I know it's bad, and I know several things to fix next time. Any comments are welcome, especially about how to take it apart so I can fix it.
The kit is a Gatsby click, which I have decided I don't like. Seems very heavy and bulky. I like the click part because I am too impatient to deal with a pen that requires two hands to operate. The wood is a piece of Walnut I had left over from another project, and, of course, I did not have the correct bushings for this kit so I had to improvise. It is really hard to get all the little pieces and parts all together at the same time.
On the plus side - just look at how much room there is for improvement! I love a challenge.
Hank - I live in Raleigh, MS, 50 miles north of Hattiesburg and 30 miles from the nearest Walmart. You don't get much more remote.
Thanks for all the comments and encouragement. Maybe someday I can help someone else.
