Thanks all for the kind replies!

BernieP: Glad you enjoyed the site! I originally started this because I didn't have a clue but found sites where people were showing what they did / had. Hopefully mine will be as useful in that I don't always either do or have what someone else might.

At one point I kept a spreadsheet so someone might have an idea what things would cost to get into various aspects of all this, but got told in very short order by a number of people that it was a real bad idea to have online, sigh....

It was rather scary to see how much it costs to get into all this, to be real honest !

ScrollZilla : Thanks! I think I am sorta stuck on that general design, not sure if that is good or bad at this point.

One thing I HATE about most pens is that you have to have a death grip on them to keep them from sliding through ones fingers while one writes.

The larger diameter and that little indentation (to some degree or other) seems to make a huge difference in writing comfort. Maybe it is just me and big fingers, but most people do seem to like the idea once they try it ?!?

Since I started making pens, I have been tossing all those toothpick pens I have !

Penpal: It was a good reason to acquire the parts for the project . Need to make one for her roomie too. So many pretty woods, so little $$$ . Pleased to admit that while I never liked light woods, I have come to appreciate and enjoy them!

"Take Care", especially these days, is a good thing to keep in mind. I got it from a very old friend years ago and it seems to me to be a good thing to carry on.

Add to this a slimline done in the olive wood too! Love the character of that wood!

Put up a couple pix tonight, same place if anyone wishes to see it.

You can cheat you know. I made one similar a while ago using a standard slim line kit and a detachable key ring kit .I agree though the olive wood looks great .

Great idea, always nice when things dovetail, but I would have probably never though of this, THANKS!
