Nowt wrong with the picture quality Bob... At least we can see them.

Nice set of pens there as well, I have not seen the royalty or stratus in the flesh but the jury is out on them for me..

But nothing wrong with the turnings and the way they have been finished.:thumbs:

What's the acetate tube?

Nice varied collection of pens with lovely finishes. Not seen the stratus or the royalty before nor heard of an acetate tube.

Thanks for the kind words guys - over generous I think!

Acetate tubes are the originals sold by Vince at Turners Workshop. He sells them on ebay as well. There are some lovely colours but they are delicate and only a few of them can be turned for sierras type sizes. Drilling is challenging but achievable if done carefully in small steps. I've shown a few others in earlier posts.

Not sure ablout the executive kits but they seem decent.
I really like the stratus which seem solid and have a lovely soft click action

I don't like the royalty kit one little bit but those ladies susceptible to a bit of bling will love it I think. Only bought one to try out.

All of them very nice Bob. There are several, in fact most of those kits I've never used of even seen before.
