Hey Artme

That's kit is one of Harrys mods that he dose )

Ian

Those look great Ian!
Do you ship international?

Les

Very nice set of pens. I like the knight kits, I usually use the chrome, a tad leary of 24k. gold, justified or not. Your stylus version looks the goods.
Ian has really nailed these snake skin blanks and you have done them proud

Great looking pens Harry. I like the change to the Knight. Looks good

OK, My turn to show my effort with one of Ian's blanks.
I ordered 4 from him, one of each colour he had in his original post.

Hey Mate

Awesome job on that one ) I must say the blue looks really good to me how did it turn on the lathe

Ian

Ian,
Turned like all the fibreglass resins do.
You always get those tiny chipouts.
I just stop earlier and do a lot of sanding to final size.
Then MM it, No polish or wax.
Peter

Will need to find out what other size tubes/kits you cast for.

Never keen on sierra's myself, small tubes, Like polaris as they have more to show off.

Hey There Guys,

Thanks for the comments, Ian has these Blanks down Pat, they are a pleasure to Turn, I make my own version of the 'Pen Pro' Turning Tool, and they end up with a finish that you can start sanding at 400gr, to 800gr them Micro mesh, and polish (if you think its needed)

Hey Trudunnit, I do my own Knight Stylus Kit, but I am having trouble getting decent Stylus tips, I got some Craft Supplies USA, but they don't have the good ones anymore , I have some from David (Timberbits) that are good, we'll see what he brings back from his 'Magical Mystery Tour of China' and hopefully his 'Magical Mystery Tour of the USA'

Wait till you see the Snake Skins with a Logo applied ( Hey Ian, we need to get onto this)
