Nothing wrong with a well done set of slims ,which they are, If you do more sets there is a slightly upmarket set that uses 2mm lead ,a bit more substantial than the .005 - .007 mm leads standard in the slimmer kits. All good though, you are well on the way to eyeing every bit of wood as a potential pen or two
Cheers and enjoy ~ John
G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!
