Awesome looking pen! I have a few of those kits, just never made one. Now you've gone and motivated me to to make one of those little guys. Great colors on this one as well.
Love the workmanship! I don't love that pen kit though. Too stubby for my tastes, and all my customers make the same comment.
PS - I did see an IAP member make a closed ended pen out of that kit and it looked great because it was an inch or two longer. I wonder if I could make a closed ended pen, apply the clay, then finish it????

The feedback on this pen kit is You either love it or hate it, no in between.
Any idea who/how? I'm not visualising it. You need the screws on both ends in order for it to work. Unless the "closed" end was the cap? Are you able to find it again?'d love to see it!I did see an IAP member make a closed ended pen out of that kit
Actually, you don't need screws on both ends of the base of the pen in order for it to work. It just won't post the cap if it's got a closed ended base, just like all the other kits we do this with.
This question gives me a good idea though... make a closed ended base a little longer and then use a tap and die set to cut some threads in the base of it so that it is postable.
