Here is my first attempt at trustone, Drilled OK and did not bunt the chisels too much
All went well till i was assembling the buggar, the bloody thing cracked at the base and a piece fell out,
Managed to glue it back on and add some ca glue and dust from turning the pen. but will need a bit of polishing to make it look ok

Nice looker that one. Yep it's a bugger when that happens and even though you repair it you still keep looking at the repair and say that's not good enough..

Nice to see you have caught woody on the cap section as well, this time it looks like he has got a cigarette end in his gob while turning..

A pen is a pen when we look at it we dont see the crack nor hunt for it when repaired we all have one or more that we keep aside for our own reasons, colour , fit, shape etc. Your pen had plenty of blank to work with and looks just fine Johnny.
