Not seen those in particular.

Penkitsdirect and turners workshop tend to deal with their kits.

Ever thought of making a slimline Longwood? Very verpsatile kit.

It would be a twist using the slimline..

Was you wanting a click pen?

There is a tut for it, just can't find it as I'm sure it's in my PC, can't remember who did it..

Basically leave the blank in one piece and then only glue is the top tube.

Then you pull the refill and tube out via the nib end to gain access the refill.

To protract the refill out to use then pen you hold the nib and twist the pen as normal.

The slimline pen kit is so versatile you are not restricted to one style.. I would find some links but my IPad isn't playing ball at the moment.:rolling:

Edit..

Look at this.

Walter Hall did a piece on modified slimlines for Woodturning Magazine once upon a time I seem to remember. I don't know if it ever became publicly available or if there are copyright restrictions on it. But hopefully [MENTION=95]Walter[/MENTION] will pop along shortly to give us the gen, and maybe give us a link

Thankyou [MENTION=122]Penpal[/MENTION] for the instructions of the longwood.

It actually looks like a modified slimline pen anyway.. simple to emulate in my opinion.

If you wanted the rubber end then buy a comfort slimline pen kit and modify that.


Given you some ideas Kevin [MENTION=1781]crazylegs[/MENTION] food for thought..
