Sierra Twist Pencil

[gtriever]

I've recently come across a 2005 article by Scott Hettel from the Pen Maker's Guild for converting a twist Sierra pen into a pencil. Has anybody here tried this modification, and if so, what were your results? It looks like an interesting project.

I did several back then. No problems. They were for gifts to make matching sets. I do not sell pencils so I have not made any since.

Thanks, Bob. That's the news I was hoping to hear. That gives me a good option for less expensive sets.

PSI also sells a conversion kit to turn the Gatsby Click kit into a pencil.

I converted the first one last night, and it works fine. For we newer guys who didn't already know about this, it's a new tool we can use. :good:
