Phoenix pen kit

[gandsande]

Has anyone done one of the new Phoenix kits that Woodturningz is offering? I am confused is it a click or a twist and if a twist does it twist the top or the lower part? Anyone got an opinion on this kit?

I've done a couple. They are twist and you twist the bottom.

thank you. I am going to try some I think as the sierra is getting to be a bit repetitive. but many customers like the single barrel type pens for everyday usage.

So far it seems to be a decent kit. I have a issue with the first one I turned where the twist is quite hard but the second one is nice and smooth.

I made a couple they are a bit hefty, but a good kit if you like a heavy pen

Do these have their own bushings? Can other bushings be used?
