Lovely stuff - I'm watching and learning.

I love the body - the white from the tubes really works well

Been thinking I would rather have a Sharpie Pen now than a fat pencil thanks to you Paul. Want a pup from that incredble blank.No envy here( only admiration mate).

Thanks to all of you for the kind comments.:thumbs:

This very nice kit may have a slight flaw.

The lid may not be air tight. I went to use it today and the sharpie was dry, it came to life after scribbling a little bit. The Sharpie comes with the kit and when I took off the original cap the pen was working well, no dryness.

The lid has a very reassuring click when posted and so maybe it is trapping a small amount of air and drying the nib a little??

I will try another Sharpie and report back.

nice looking blank and finish looks spot on.

Nice video and well put together, but being an old fart I like pictures as you can zoom in and look closer at the blank and kit.. That's just me.. :tongue:

I haven't seen the kit either, but looks a good kit if the pen life can be kept as good as the plastic original.. Maybe worth a look if they work ok..
