a quick $50.00

[Glenn McCullough]

Got an order for this pen and charged $120.00 for it as I knew it would be quick as the kit is easy to assemble and the blank was purchased pre-tubed and cast from CSUSA. Venus rollerball and Artisan glass fiber blank. Cut the blank to size, squared it, turned, polished and assembled it in 30 minutes. I figure after the $65.00 in hardware and materials and electricity, 50 bucks is about what I cleared. Wheres the easy button?

Doesn't that take all the fun out of it? Should have at least came up with a 'had to take a break' excuse during the middle of assembly


Pretty pen though!

Ya gotta like that!
But you still have to be able to make the pen.
The kit and blank means nothing without that nice touch that you have.
Nice pen.

Thanks for sharing - nice looking pen - I have the same combination I'm going to turn & assemble this weekend for an upcoming show. Thanks for giving me the preview.

Cool casting. I did not see those last time I was on that site. I will need to look closer. Nice work on it.

A sharp looking combination for sure!

I had a handful of these kits lying around so decided to put a few together with some of the blanks I'm using in my custom fountain pens and they seem to have an appeal about them! I sold all the ones I took to Dallas last month so assembled the last few the other day and find myself actually thinking about ordering some more of these kits!

People seem to notice these pens more than just the standard Jr Statesman pens with the gold embellishments.
