    Wow! I love the bolt-action pen!

    Do you make them for sale? I would be very interested to find out what one would cost.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Tom,
    I do not make them for sale, I will try to stop by and show you several bolt action pens and I am sure we can work something out. Do you work in the cal lab?

    Bill
    I watched your video on Pen making and thought it was way cool, I am a Machinist on the Nasa side on the ESSSA contract and I have a wood working shop at home and I would love to try this can you tell me where I can get a Kit for this? I found a web site called wood turningz and looked at their kits but wasn’t sure if the kits came with everything I needed. can you please advise.
    Thanks,
    David

    David, sorry for not replying earlier, just busy. Anyway check out penn state ind., for the kits. I buy most of mine there and the kits are complete with instructions. Enjoy

    thank you for this.
