A couple slimlines for a customer

[dubdrvrkev]

They are kind of boring (to me) but he wanted gold w/out clips. The black is just because I had an extra blank that didn't match the set. All of the wood is Ipe. Same customer has ordered a cigar set in the same wood for his son.

Nice job... Even though boring to you....your customers' thinking actually gave you some extra parts! []

They look good Kevin. They may look boring now, but when they turn green they will look better. []

There's nothing boring about giving a paying customer what they want! [] Nice job.

The fit and finish is good on all of them. I like the way you transistioned from the top to bottom tubes. Very nice.

They look good Kevin. I know it's easy to get bored with the slimlines when you really start getting hooked on this stuff. For me, slimlines are what sell right now. I'm in the middle of an ever-growing order of slimline pen/pencil sets (currently at 32 sets). I was given creative license for the wood selection and the pen kit finish. The only stipulation was that they all have to be straight barreled. But like Mark said, when they all turn green and the customer is happy, it's all good.

They look great Kevin and remember the customer is always right.

I think we give slimlines a bad 'rep' sometimes. I'm beginning to appreciate them more, considering their versatility! You can do so much with a slim!

Nice job!

Thanks everyone.
My big complaint with slimlines is the lack of options for refills. After writing with rollerballs and gels, ballpoints just can't compare. The kits are fun and easy to make though and cheap enough if you fubar it, no big loss.

Nice Pens, plus another order![]

Slimlines are my best sellers. I have been selling quite a few to the guys at my firehall and the slimlines fit in our uniform pockets. Kinda curious why did he not want clips.

He wants them as a desk set. I could probably make a few humajobbies and sell them to his also.

Kevin, Nice work. As long as the customer is happy, can't be too bad huh?

Keep them happy. Nice looking set
