Newbie here,
I've made a few pens and I am fimilar with most of the kits out there. My question is: Are there "kits" or "parts" out on the internet somewhere that are as nice as the $40-$50 kits other than the ones listed at our favorite suppliers (CSUSA, Penn State etc)? I mean where do the parts come from in the $200-$1000. pen selling range come from? Are the metal parts made by the artist like we make the wood parts? I'm serious, I really do not know and can't find out. For example.....I hate to buy a $25+ kit and then turn a closed end pen and waste or not use the other parts. I guess I'm just a tightwad. Thanks in advance for any recommendation you might have. Also I have a website (in progress) and would appreciate any feedback. (Yes I am working on my photos and yes I know there is no order page yet). Please go easy, but your oponion (sp?) does matter. Thanks, Jack www.jackscustompens.com
