    Ledger Pen Kit Needed

    Hi All,
    I have been getting these kits from Woodcraft, but they have discontinued them. They had one brass tube , threaded on one end that, aftered glued in the blank, was threaded onto a mandrel and the entire pen could be turned free of the tail stock. You dropped in a spring, the ink filler and screwed on the threaded tip housing. May be called a desk pen.
    Any of you folks know where I can find them? I've checked with my other suppliers, Penn State, Woodturningz, Packard, Craft Supplies and checked Berea and Bear Tooth on line, but have had no luck.
    I know these things are out there, but can't find them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Be Safe,
    Steve

    If you post a picture of the pen that might help. I know you said you checked Berea already but all the Woodcrafts I know of just resell Berea kits.

    Thanks Curt,
    This is a similar style, but not what I'm looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to post this. I may try to post a pic later today, if I get time to take one.

    Thanks again.

    Not familiar with that kit. I will tell you if it were me I would modify a slim line pen kit if I wanted to make a pen that looked like that.
    If you are interedted let me know and I will send you some links, I can't post links to other forums per the TOS.

    Thanks Mike,
    I'm familar with adapting the slim line kits. I really hope to find a source for the kits that I have been using, they are so easy to make and yet attractive in their simplicity.
    Thanks again.
