Title: Some not so good kits
Post by: woody on August 10, 2013, 06:12:52 PM

Two filigree pens one in Honduras Walnut the other X cut Oak these were given to me by my son they are from Axminster not a very good kit in my book
Three slimline real crap kits from China an old friend gave me and a mate a load of these kits and the mate sent the remainder of them to me thanks, they ar in Walnut sycamore and spalted beech kits to be avoided

Well Woody,

I don't think you sound impressed with these kit's, and certainly don't mince your word saying so.

The wooden bits look good though.

Hi Woody, given the quality of kit, the Ax pair look passable as pens.. the others the total worth is in the wood.

Cheers on the heads up.   David
