One that almost got away

I hate it when even when you think you are doing everything right, you get a crack while assembling the pen. So I started with clean tubes, chamfered ends, slight salivary lubricant and slow straight, even pressing yet a crack was the result.

I disassembled the pen, sanded, cleaned it well and reapplied both thin and pen finish CA. It made it back from the brink. I carefully looked for the crack to locate the clip and it took a while to find it; very pleased about that.

Saturn/Roadster with stabilized redwood burl.

Great save and if only you can find it....it doesn't exist!

That shows what a real professional pen should look like.

Nice save. I've never heard of this kit. Mind if I ask where you got it from, I like it.

CSUSA - Roadster. It is like WoodTurninz Saturn. I do very few slim lines but lots of this style. CSUSA has great Roadster kits for less than the competition.

I sell these pens for $25-$30

Well done. Sounds like me last week.

Your pen looks to be a dead-ringer for the BHW Streamline 7mm, with the exception of price: CSUSA's price for Gun Metal or Chrome appears to be $2.75/kit whereas BHW's price starts at $4.40 for Gun Metal and goes up from there. Interesting!

I usually buy quite a few at a time and the price goes down nicely.
