turn

Its been a while since I turned any pens or posted any pics. First of all I turned 10 of each style. The lever action is a new kit for me. The barrel is short enough I can get 2 from 1 blank. I'm hoping it sells well. Second picture is the Over/Under kit also new to me. This pen is a...

I have purchased 4 SIERRA PENCIL KITS from Penkits UK. Just turned one and I am not happy with it or I am doing something wrong on assembling. When you eventually get the lead out you cannot turn it back. How and where do you store spare leads. Anyone had experience of these pens. Glen:sob::sob:
