Hi all
not been on the forum for a few years
dug the lathe out and have turned a few zeta kits and a couple of lucidas i had laying around
have some omega and alpha kits that i need to get some bushings for (sadly out of stock)
just wondering what other high end kits have come to the market in the last 3\4 years
I see a sigma on TM site and the leveche and mistral on beaufort site
any thoughts opinions on these please as Dan and Phil were my "go to" suppliers?

Steve

Hi Steve.....yes Dan and Phil are go to suppliers, the Mistral range, Leveche and Sirocco......or Ares, Zeta and Omega.....BMPK an all stainless steel pen....
What's changed most is access to quality blanks....Hybrids, stabilized, segmented, watch parts, colour change.
Welcome back.....it's expensive:sob::sob:

Welcome back to the forum mate.

You see when you manage to break the addiction it always comes back to bite you!!

As Mark said really, nothing has changed greatly.

Pen kits Direct has just been taken over by Dan, was always a good place to go and should be even better now with Dans customer service.

All the usual suppliers are still there tho..

I see Dan is not active on the forum anymore
I will have to drop him an email to see when the bushes will be back in stock
I think I will have a try of the Mistral and Leveche when Phil is fully moved
what are peoples thoughts on the sigma?
