    Eliot Pen Kits

    Has anyone had experience of making these? I ordered a couple of kits, have made one up. It's a lovely looking pen, save for the white marks, which are my fault. But the mechanism keeps sticking. Should steer clear of click mechanism pens I guess....

    Jr Gent upgraded versus standard

    What's the difference between the standard Jr gentleman and the upgraded version, particularly in terms of bushing size? I have a collection of unlabelled bushes that I bought with a mixture of pen kits which I'm trying to sort out. And is the assembly pretty much the same? Thanks #newbie Margo

    multi-tool pen kit?

    Some years ago I made a batch of "pens" from kits I got from, I think, Craft Supplies. Basically a tube with a clutch which could hold a series of small tools - a couple of small screwdriver bits, an awl or a 10A scalpel blade. There was also pair of tweezers from a Swiss Army knife. Someone...
