Had allmost a whole day again on Saturday with the poor weather. Cleaned up the shop a bit and had a box of bad pen blanks that I had trouble with Gorilla Epoxy Glue, and my dull pen flushing tool. The glue didn’t hold very well, and I won’t use it again. Don’t bomb me with Gorilla Glue lovers mail, it just didnt’ work. Then my cutter was dull and between the two the pens didn’t flush up right. Not only being short in some cases the brass moved on some. Had them for quite a while so I removed what brass that was loose, and sanded off the mess from the ends of the blanks with my bench sander. In any case the now not usuable pen blanks were able to be used. The only thing was on these slim lines, is that the twister had to be custom fitted so that the pen writing tip didn’t stay out when retracted. I had to push it in, but not to the line at least till I checked them. Here at the results. Only had one that didn’t make it, and that one will need a little help. Here is list of what was made, and they most likely are out of order:

-All Pink Laminate
-Red, White, and Blue Laminate
- Autumn Laminate, (orange, maroon, brown)
- Wenge
-All Black Laminate
-Red and Black laminate
-Madegascar Ebony
-Safari, (bright blue and green, and brown)

Thanks for looking!

I think that all look amazing! The variety of colors is great. I like slim line pens myself,as they are comfortable to hold. You had a really productive day. :P
