I have used the concave kit on slimline tubes the kit comes with one long and one short tube and you have to press the mechanism in quite a long way and to be honest there isn't much difference one pen Black & white the other blue & white the last photo I have included one pen done in its own tubes all blanks were made by our very own Sir Rowdy Esq polished with Auto glym what do you think

I think I prefer it with the slimline tubes Woody but all three are very nice. I like that kit, its very nice... still to use mine yet... maybe later.

I had to tighten the tension up a bit on the clips another good thing about this kit just put a thin screw driver in the cap end and it tightens a screw on the spring

Thank you Chas

Rowdy sent some of his blanks up for Sat first come first served

The more I see these kits, the more I like 'em mate. I do think the slimline tube length makes the pen look better. And the blanks are beautiful as always. Top job sir !! :thumbs::thumbs:
