Overview

With its elegant profile, superb balance, and smooth action, the Manhattan Pen has earned its place as a favorite among pen turners. It's a single twist pen - one turn of the barrel exposes the ballpoint tip. The Manhattan Ballpoint Pen takes standard Parker ballpoint pen refills. Choose from hundreds of eye-catching materials for the barrel. In hardly any time at all, you'll have a twist pen that will truly be turning heads.

I like a nice thick pen to write with as opposed to thin soda straw size pens. The thick barrel also shows off more wood surface.

Does Rockler sell an appropriately sized sleeve to guide the barrel trimming of a Manhattan pen? How have others handled square blank/barrel trimming?
Glenn S on Sep 6, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Rocklers does sell different styli kits for each style of pen that they sell. These fit on the mandrel adjacent to the portion of the pen which they are to be used as guides to size the wooden portions of the pen. These instructions are in the hardware kit for each style of pen when you buy the hardware.

I like this pen!
I am very happy with these pin kit. They went together very nicely except for one that I ruined the wood on. I need to order some extra 27/64 spare tubes. This was clearly my fault. The finished and will make nice Christmas gifts.

Manhattan pen
Not for a newcomer, requires a little turning experience to deal with turning the wood to the tube. Otherwise a nice pen. More heft than the Slimlines...

I use a lot of these kits, some for inlay pens and some for children. I get a lot of feed back that the pen writes very smoothly. The kit assembles quite easily.
