It's been a looooong time... finally have a shop again!

These are my first pens from a kit other than the standard slimline... if I was gonna mess them up, I wanted to mess up a $1.70 kit first :D
Perfect Fit and acrylic....

I had to! ... you bugged me long enough! [:p]

Good lesson here really... I didn't have any problems at all... not sure what I was so nervous about [:I]
 
I actually find most kits (including mid and high end) to be much easier than slimline or 7mm euro.

My favorite mid level is CSUSA's Jr Gent II [^].

By the way, when you decide on CSUSA, watch out for group buys here. 25% discount (or about 21% net due to paypal and extra S&H costs) is nothing to sneer at.
 
Great looking pens, Marc. As Dario said, I too find the upper end kits just as easy if not easier to turn as the SL. The only problems I've had is making sure the larger hole for the tubes is drilled straight.
BTW, which acrylics are those?

WELCOME BACK Marc! But I don't think you have been back since I joined. Great looking pens! Been wonderin about you. Still in GA? Went to your website briefly and saw that old ugly mug. You did a good job of losing weight. It seems to be successful - congratulations!

Hey Marc .... we've never met. I took a look at your website and spend a bit of time there poking around. Then, I took a look at your IAP ID info and saw a Warner Robins address. Are you still there??? I live in Macon. If you are that close, we gotta get together.
