I quite enjoy playing with a basic kit and doing something different. This uses a chrome slimline. The photo could be a bit sharper!

You are right about the photo but it looks like a very nice pen.

Very nice pen.
Best way to learn is to try different things David, nice pen
Yep, shame about the picture but nice looking slimline..
Difficult to see Peter, but looks like a long wood pen. If you search long wood on the forum you will get the idea of what you can do with the slimline kit.

No centre band was used. The division between upper and lower sections is around the point of greatest diameter. I cut the special upper tubes from long lengths of tube.

I don't use longwood kits. Normal slimlines plus lengths of spare tube to cut as I need. I have a collection of spare centre bands! I find this design with greater diameter lower down and tapered upper part to be very comfortable to hold and my prototype is my 24/7 note taking pen!

Sorry Les, misunderstanding. I was talking as the modified slimline with a longer wood blank (longwood) rather than the long wood kit.
Check this out..Ian was a dab hand and perfected them a treat..

Walter used to do them as well at one time.
I used to do them using the standard tubes and not using a longer tube for the top.
