Hey everyone! We have a few updates to share around our pen kit line....
The big one: Constant Laubscher has decided to retire from making pen kits so we're having to switch machinists.
What that means is that yes, we're going to be out of stock for a while. Thankfully, Constant is helping us arrange for a new machine shop to make the kits. We were worried that we couldn't get anyone that would work with low minimums but I think we've got a plan that keeps the kits alive. In fact, if all goes to plan we should never be out of stock again. The plan is to make a full year's worth of inventory and then purchase them in chunks throughout the year. If there's a sudden rush, we'll already have parts on the shelf at the machine shop. We're not sure if pricing will change a bit but if it does it should be minimal.... more to come on that as we finalize the details.
All that said... we do have parts for Liberty Twist/Click and Coyote Twist here to put into kits. We'll be getting them together and updating the inventory shortly. We are completely out of Desire... unless I can convince Constant to make a few parts... I'll see what I can do
You can also find our kits at Classic Nib, Turner's Warehouse, and Craft Supplies... though I suspect their inventory may be low as well.
Apologies for the inconvenience. I had my panic moment when he told me he was done making kits... but I think long run this is going to work out for the best.
