Mont Blanc was good until about the late 80s early 90s then something changed, not sure if it was penny pinching materials or QC but they really fell off but continued charging the same prices

I found another kit that might fit the MB, for a lot cheaper. So if you're interested, we might be able to work something out.

Ya, I am. But if MB sucks, I dont want

I do want a custom pen from you though

I like the roller ball type pens, like the G2 Pro. Whatever you recommend would be cool.

Where the fuck have I been?

I'm trying to figure out what kind of wood I would like. I think I might want to do two.

Sorry it's taken me so long. I was having trouble with my drilling set up, and put it off for a while so I didn't through my drill press through the window. I was ruining expensive pieces of wood, and that sucked. I got the kinks worked out, and I bust out a pen pretty quick. I did 5 last night for a charity sale this weekend. I hopefully will be able to work on your pens this weekend.

Didn't get in the shop this past weekend, but I did get in there last night. Had a couple issues (one pen blew apart, and I used the wrong bushings on another), but I got one pen done. I'm pretty happy with it. No idea what wood it is, I got it in a random grab bag of blanks.

I should be able to finish the other 2 tonight.
