I like all the different colors and textures but the overall design is bassackwards.Should have made it a capped pen so that the clip isn't stuck inbetween the revolving barrels.The bolt doesnt fit the theme either which is a minor criticism.

Can the bolt handle be reoriented to the correct position like the bolt action's?

Alan's picture does not do it justice. I saw it at the show on his table it was a stand out look really great. Also injoyed seeing a lot of pen turners there displaying. I thought it would be just a bunch of old fountain pens. Did get to meet Mike & Linda found out who really repairs the pens and her name is not Mike. Enjoyed meeting Barry and Richard Greenwald wife enjoyed meeting me after she had to go borrow a extra heavy duty bag to put all the blanks I purchased from her. Enjoyed meeting and talking to you as well Alan.

Alan's new pen is really cool in person! They should be a hit!
I too enjoyed getting to chat with all the folks previously mentioned. That was the highlight of the show. Also came home with some nice blanks from Richard Greenwald.

Earlier I mentioned that I thought it would look better as a capped pen so I got to looking around and found this http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/9mm-gatling-gun-pen-82868/.

Sorry I have not been able to keep up with this post. Got out of the hospital yesterday. Nappy is correct this was an original idea the only source of design was form the original Gatling gun.

It still falls under the gene of Steampunk, but the design of the pen came from pictures of Gatling the gun from the civil war era.

So the source of the design was from Jeff's original Gatling Gun.

I hate to bring this up, as this matter doesnt pertain to me, i dont use pen kits, but your edited post above, before you edited it, i saw what you said when Les asked you this exact same question. You said that you had never seen this pen before today, the one from Jeff, the Gatling Gun pen and this pen was an original idea. Allan stated that it had been in development for 2 years. Now you state that Jeffs pen played a part...in the idea. So you Have seen Jeffs pen before today and it played a part in the idea. Honesty is the most important thing, especially in a business. Why all the flip flopping back and forth on this? I feel like there was some dishonesty there.

i had never see it but, the marketing guy had....i called and asked him..so I was being honest...he said it did inspire him to work it into the steampunk theme i did not know that..so complete disclosure...that's why i corrected it

So I guess Jeff Powell (workingforwood) is going to get a ton of $$$$money(royalty)for
inspiring this new PSI pen style? Right? Right? lol At least give Jeff some credit at the very least...

I'm am going to work really hard on my Steampunk Pen for the PITH, because then it will have a spot reserved on a bulletin board in Philadelphia.
Then again, with my skill level, I have no fears for any 'creative design" swelling from my PITH!
But this is a public forum, and PSI has every right to slightly alter the design, patent it's design to block other vendors (NOT ME, I have no skin in this game) and is perfectly legal... ethical?

You say Jeff's 2011 Gatling Gun played a part in your design and pen name, so would it not be honest and or ethical to at least acknowledge and give credit that Jeff's design gave you the idea and change the name of your design?

i really don't understand your question....it did not play any part in the name..the name of the pen is "The Steampunk" not "Gatling"...the theme of the pen was steampunk from the start...the gatling gun is just one element of the pen...where would you like us to acknowledge it...? to what extent..

Rather than continuing to go back and fourth if Jeff has a problem with it it's up to him to pursue it. I don't know about you guys but I have other things to worry about than someone else's business. I vote for a draw in this conversation.
Best Regards to all,
