In an effort to slow down using so many kits, I decided to slow down a bit and experiment with a couple. Working my way to kitless so these may have helped build a few skills.
First up is a SPW Classic Vintage rollerball. Bought a bunch of these when I first started turning. Didn't have much luck with the tenon when I first started so I stashed them away. The only color I've liked with gold is blue so I dug up a blue acrylic blank. Wanted to do something different with the cap but the blank was just long enough for this. Maybe next time.

Next, I had a cigar kit missing the nib. Decided I would try to make the bottom blank with a built in nib. This is the result. Don't like the chrome/black with the blank but I think the experiment worked.

C & C (and suggestions for improvement) welcome.
Thanks for looking!
