    Yeah i buy internal kits. It has the transmission, tube, pen cartridge, and some other pieces. I usually pour my own acrilic blanks, and cut my own wood blanks.

    Mostly i just turn down wood or acrylics into the exterior handle piece of the pen. Its pretty cathartic because you end up with a product that reflects your effort and each one will be completely unique.

        Its the piece that clicks and moves the ballpoint in or out of the housing. On some pens it clicks and on others it twists. Its just the moving part.

          oh! I can’t tell you enough how cool I think this is. I have always loved pens though and have a hard time not spending too much when I go to art stores cause I want to buy all the pens/markers.
