    I really love that pair, very nicely done, they offset each other perfectly. Amos

    They are the Dayacoms from GPW.
    I ordered some on Sunday, still waiting for them to arrive. I hope I get them tomorrow in the mail, parcel tracking says they are "in transit "
    I have poured the blanks, drilled and back painted the holes, will glue in the tubes tomorrow.

    I assume GPW had some in stock to fill my order, because I haven't been told anything except the package is sent and in transit.
    I promised the customer a set the same as the ones I showed her, so I really hope there is no problem.

    If I can't get any more after this lot, then so be it, I will look for an alternative. I don't really like the Blingy look, but you have to try and give the customers what they want.

    Dayacom should be fine, I think Garry was doing some of his own with a pale blue stone from memory . Cheers ~ John

    The Dayacoms kits turned up today, so all is good for now.

    I have a kit in a drawer that sounds like it might be one of those blue stone kits, the quality is not the same as the Dayacoms.

    I got a price from a local engraving shop to engrave the couples names on these pens. They want $33 each.
    I have never paid to have this done before so I don't know what I should be paying.
    Does anyone know what a fair price for this would be ?

    Amos engraved a pen for me years ago, he didn't want payment, but I insisted he take a box full of pen blanks in trade.

    I had a pair of wedding pens done a few years ago at a local engraver, I paid $32 for the pair.

    At that price, why don't you save yourself the $66 and buy Amos' laser engraver?

    You only have to do about 40 pairs and you've got your money back!

    Great wedding set there Brad - nicely done.

    Regarding the engraving, give Tony from Perfect Pens & Pencils a yell - he does laser engraving and could give you the figures.
