I have been making pens for a couple of yrs now and feel this is by far the best pen that I have had the pleasure of making. Easy to follow instructions, I love the box it comes packed in, and it makes a rock solid pen. No need to worry about this one coming back for repairs. A nice, heavy pen that helps us men work on our upper body development as we are writing. I can't wait to make another. I feel the price is very reasonable with the quality of this pen compared to prices of pens of lesser quality. Thanks Penn State, Keep up the good work.

I am somewhat disappointed with this pen. After putting it together, the cap is very difficult to put on the writing end of the pen. Looks great, but function is lacking due to cap sticking and unbalanced with the cap on the end opposite end when writing.

Beautiful. Simple to make and very elegent in either plating choices. Preferred because it allows the user to "park" the writing cap when the pen is in use.

This pen looks great with light tan woods, I used a spalted Tamarind blank. The colors and the contrast of the tan and plating look great!

This is a great pen and it's easy to make. All the parts fit very well together. The finished pen also looks very nice.
This pen has class! It is not difficult to get great results.

I've made about a dozen of these as gifts. They are always loved because of the quality of the metal and crystal. Great kit.
The Majestic Jr. I ordered was of excellent quality as I expected. I used stabilized box elder for the material. When I make a pen for a particular person, I try to design the pen (model, material, shape) to reflect that person as I see them.
When I gave this pen to my friend, she almost cried. She kept saying over and over how beautiful it was. I see her once a month and she always mentions the pen.
Seriously, I'm not trying to brag about my skills. I just want you to know that this is a quality pen and if you put your best effort into it, it will turn out to be a thing of exceptional beauty. Value: Priceless. Return on Investment: Priceless.
