No way - it's a mark of quality!!
Surely you've heard that the way to tell a really, really swish restaurant is by the fact that they have huge plates, and tiny morsels of really beautifully prepared food
Same sort of thing here.
Maybe I should use a bigger box next time??
Anyway, when I dropped them off, the customer was very happy, and remarked favourably about the presentation.
Cheers,
Andrew

Don't get me wrong I think they look great in the boxes but I find when you buy things of quality the packaging is of a very high standard but understated as the real star of the show is the content not it's package.
HH.Always look on the bright side...

potatoes!
Hi Andrew,
Now work is cooling down I'm back in the shed with a few pens coming - I actually sold my first yesterday for a christmas present - $35 for a camphor laurel roller...
These are great pens... I love the finish you get on them. Anyway, in terms of keeping the glue out of the brass, I've used potatoes... before you glue the brass in, press the tube through a potato to fill it up. Glue in as normal, Then push the potato cork out.
I guess that trick is well known around the group...

Hi Smagrath,
good to see you on here!
I used playdough to block the tubes, but found it fiddly, and it did not work 100%.
So now I just hook out all the glue I can with a toothpick, then (ab)use the vernier to pop off the "skin" of glue as needed when it is dry.
Each to their own...
Cheers,
Andrew
