Footsteps in the Sand Pen - Gary™ - 04-04-2024
Started making these pens the other day. This one is Gun Metal with Bocote. Most popular is Pewter with Bocote, Redheart, Bloodwood or Cocobolo.

That's a good-looking pen, Gary. Did you do the engraving yourself? It's a good quote.

Nice job!
I had considered using that pen kit to introduce the great-nephews to turning when I was in FL for the holidays. Things happened and our time in FL got shortened to much to have any time in the shop.
That kit series looks pretty straightforward in the instructions.
Did you notice any quirks when making them?
thanks

I got the selection that included the Pewter, Gold, Chrome and Gun Metal. I highly recommend the Gun Metal with is almost chrome like. It's what is in the photo. The lettering is white on this kit and shows up MUCH BETTER than the other varieties
Otherwise it's a very simple and quick kit to make and press. Drilling is a 3/8" BP bit and used 5 min epoxy to glue in the tube. I went with CA finish as it quick and dirty.
