These kits are all from Dean (my spouse) Caraway's estate. There will be more pen kits and multiple medium blanks and woods as I find time to inventory the other containers containing items. If you're looking for something chances are I might have it because I have a lot of supplies. I have...

My first fountain pen. To make it my pen, the acrylic blank, as unique as any blank can be. I pained the inside of the tube with acrylic paint and a que tip. White at the tip, red in the middle and black at the cap end. Not really happy with the applications, went on thick and I had to sand...

Tried my hand at a Celtic Knot pen the other day. Made from firewood black walnut and maple (need to stop stealing from the wood pile 😅). Lots of learnings but overall pretty happy as a first attempt. Also first time using Shellawax and EEE, yeah, like those a lot. Kit: Vertex Click from Rockler

Recently purchased the Beall Pen Wizard after considering it for 4 years. Experimented a bit and decided to make a Vertex rollerball. The wood used is plum with 3 coats of wipe on poly. I am going to enjoy the possibilities of this.

First, may I suggest we start a "repair" forum? Ok my problem. I'm talking about the PKFP4000 series click pen. I have 2 and both broke when dropped/ fell out of pocket. The push button plastic piece broke. I think (?) I can use a punch and push the entire top piece off and then replace...

I need to take apart a Vertex click pen but i fear to ruin the click assembly which is made of plastic. I have one of those disassembly kit with plenty of rods to chose from and gave it a soft try to see if it would go easily, but i'll need to bang the thing hard to push the top part out. I...

Ok, so these are a couple of the first few pens ive turned. 5 and 6 of 10 so far. One is a black cigar, and bocote blank. I finished sanding to 12000, and finished with a high friction polish. I just cant seem to get the CA finish just right yet. The other is a Vertex click, and some sort of...

Hi all! These are two great HRB blanks from johnm. CSUSA Aero kit with exhibition grade HRB, CA finish: PSI Vertex kit, HRB with some sapwood, CA finish: Thanks again John for the beautiful blanks! This is certainly one of my top five favorite timbers. :smile:

I have just finished 4 vertex pens. 2 of the 4 had a bad click mechanisms. Each of them worked but only some of the time. Is this the norm for this pen? Is there some other mechanism that can be substituted? Thanks
