new to the usa Pratchett click pen kit with the skm-88 clicking mechanism, has anyone made this pen yet?
British made and sold at turning warehouse

I would not be a big fan of that kit. Sorry.

I would be interested in giving it a try, even tho' the shaping is a little different. . I like that the metal parts are stainless.
Too bad they don't have instructions on the Turners Warehouse website ( with possibly helpful additional pics ).
The UK source (Taylors Mirfield it seems) is out of stock and they don't have instructions either. .
But I did find out that the brass tube is 11/32, so that's just a tad smaller than 3/8".

When you said Pratchett, I was excited and thought that I'd see a pen with a knob on top or maybe hundreds of little legs...

or an orangutang shaped pen maybe Brian ?

still searching for that sapient pear wood......... but of course it knows .I'm looking !

You'd have to have a long, involved conversation with the sapient pearwood before turning, I imagine...

I ordered a couple of kits, but haven't made one yet. They come in interesting packaging. Never seen anything like this before.

Ordered a couple. Not bad looking at all to me.

It's been a couple of years, but I did make one. I like the kit. The wood is Goonies house wood from Turners Warehouse.

There are no instructions, but assembly is straight forward.
