Mike, that's a pretty dangerous combination ... being a pen turner and working in "the candy store"!!! :biggrin::biggrin:

And welcome from South Central Michigan.

Old Stylus that one had to press a ring around. I am glad that you have greatly improved and upgraded to what you have made available now.

Welcome Mike!
Question for you right off the bat,Did they remove the pen kit instructions off the new web site or am I looking in the wrong
place? I often reference them for a quick drill size.

Thanks,
Tim

Look on the bright side, if he does not like your response or you give him bad info he can screw up your orders

Welcome to IAP Mike.

Welcome Mike. What's your position at CSUSA?

FWIW the search on the new website is horrible! 99% of the results are irrelevant.

Go to a pen kit, and select a 'Color' (Plating) then a 'Documents' tab will appear that has the directions.

Thanks for the information Andrew. Just went to the site and found them.

 

[sbell111]

Still, that's a very clunky way to find the instructions.

All instructions are in a tab next to the products description, but you need to select a plating first for the instructions to show.

 

[Silverado]

Thanks Mike, I found them.

 

[Rodnall]

Welcome, and thanks for the info. I never could find the instructions for the pen kits either.

 

[maxwell_smart007]

A warm welcome Mike, from the Evergreen State!

 

[Mike D]

Welcome Mike! You came to the right place for learning to turn pens, cast blanks, modify kits, segment blanks and anything to do with the art of pen crafting! Me I'm just a rookie, these other folks are the pros!

What is the benefit in hiding the instructions in this manner? As far as I know, no kit has different instructions based on plating type.

Thanks for pointing this problem out. We're currently working on it and should be fixed in a few weeks.
