Hi Timbo. That is a really cool pen. I really like those DiamondCast blanks. The blue accents on the ends really set it off. I haven't tried any of Kate's kits yet, but I sure have been tempted a lot of times. I think it is because I have a hard time getting past not having a clip.
I've been on a long hiatus from turning pens myself and have been spending all of my allowance on upgrading my homebrew equipment. I did turn a new set of tap handles out of Black Walnut a few weeks ago though.
Anyhow, it is great to see you back in action - Dave
