If I only new how to make it closed end...Looks good. I made one fairly recently just to try it out, not so much the kit, but just for daily use. I just started using it for journaling yesterday, so we'll see how it does over time. Probably depends a lot on the ink you use. If you test it with any shimmer inks, let us know how this pen does with them. Also, just a thought, this kit would be a great candidate for a closed end pen.
