Woodturners, this variety pack of mini bolt action pen kits is absolutely perfect for your next turning project! You get six complete pen hardware kits - two each in gold, chrome, and gun metal finishes, so you can create pens to match different styles and preferences. The bolt action mechanism is seriously cool - it's patented and has that realistic feel that people love, with a smooth action that advances and retracts the mini ballpoint refill securely. The design uses a 3/8-inch single tube, and you'll need the PKCP3000BU bushing set to turn these properly. The minimum blank size needed is 3/4x3/4x1-1/2 inches, and when completed, the pens measure about 4 inches long - a nice compact size that's comfortable to use and carry. Important note: this is just the hardware kit - you'll need a lathe, pen blanks, bushings, drill bits, and other turning tools to actually create the finished pens. The quality is typical Penn State Industries - reliable, well-made components that assemble smoothly and look professional when finished. These make fantastic gifts, sale items for craft shows, or just fun projects for your own collection. The variety of finishes means you can use different types of wood or acrylic blanks to create contrasting or complementary looks. If you're into pen turning and want to try something different from the standard twist pens, these bolt action kits are definitely worth experimenting with. They're one of those projects that always get attention and make people say 'wow, you made that?' because the bolt action mechanism just looks so cool and mechanical.
