I've only turned a few pens so far and I see a need to differentiate pens from the kits. There are too many duplicate products among makers.
I'm probably giving up a great idea, maybe not. One thing I see as a potential, if not a potential headache, is the replacement of the black plastic that are after the nib in the kits (the two plastic parts in the sierra). I would love to be able to replace the plastic with wood and offer up a greater design potential (two contrasting woods). I don't know if this is possible as they are small pieces and would have to be threaded.
Also as far as parts, i see a lot of existing hardware that is the same. I assume the only options are to learn metalwork or hire a jeweler to design some.
Anyway, I'ld love to hear any thoughts on this subject.
