A few weeks ago someone posted pics of a pen called The Cosmopolitan. It is available from PSI in the States.

I found a very similar pen at Axminster called a D-SW series from Craftpro.

The Red Mallee is a fantastic wood but it had a few hairline cracks and that trapped my polish. Apart from that it was an enjoyable project.

Before the naysayers all line up to say triple eee is this that and the other,look up this material on U Beaut forum and read the full specs Paul. I use it and it is fantastic for cutting plastic etc.

I like strong clips and Red Mallee. Doing a quick mental tally of my known and unknown pens very soon we will be swamped for choice.

By video and voice this pen kit is opened out and shown once again thank you.

Peter.

Hi Peter,
I love the stuff. I think it gives a great finish. I also like the shellawax.
