Gallant Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft a bold, Art Deco-inspired writing piece with the Gallant Ballpoint Pen Kit. Featuring a straight single-tube barrel, elegant two-tone plating, and a smooth twist mechanism, the Gallant delivers a refined, classic look at an exceptional value. It's an ideal choice for beginners and experienced turners alike who want a stunning result without breaking the bank.
What truly sets the Gallant apart is its Art Deco styling. The distinctive clip, decorative center band, and crowned finial give every finished pen a sense of vintage elegance that stands out in the hand.

It uses a 7mm mandrel and a single brass tube — keeping the build clean, straightforward, and satisfying.

Why Turners Love This Kit
The Art Deco hardware is instantly recognizable — finished pens look far more expensive than they are.
The single-tube, 7mm mandrel setup is one of the most straightforward builds in the shop, making it a go-to for first timers and batch turners.
Two-tone plating options mean you can match the hardware to virtually any blank — from dark walnut to vivid resin pours.
At under $10 a kit, it's easy to turn a dozen for gifts, craft fairs, or just to keep the lathe running all weekend.
