Diagram A / Parts List & Layout
Preparing the Blanks Cut 3/4" to 5/8" square blanks to the length of the brass tubes (add 1/16" for squaring off). Drill a 10mm center hole lengthwise through each blank.	Spread glue over tube. Insert each tube into proper blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside. Center each brass tube lengthwise in the wooden blank. When the glue dries, square ends of blanks. Use a 10mm barrel trimmer or belt/disc sander to trim the wood flush to the brass tube at each end, making sure the wood ends are perpendicular to the tubes.
Diagram B / Turning The Blanks
Turning the Blanks First, place the stop bushing on the mandrel hand tight. Next, place the cap bushing (longer one) wide end first. Then slide on the either blank. Place the center bushing (wide end first) on the mandrel. Slide on the other blank and follow with shorter tip bushing, narrow diameter first. Thread on the lock nut hand tight. Bring the tail stock snug with the mandrel. (Do not overtighten, it could damage the mandrel). Slide the stop bushing toward the blank adjusting to remove spaces. Then tighten the set screw and tighten the lock nut. Turn wood down flush with the bushings using lathe chisels and various grits of sandpaper (see note).	NOTE: Be sure to sand down the wood on the lower blank flush with the bushing. Otherwise, the lower blank may get jammed inside the upper tube when engaged. Finished lower blank must fit inside upper blank. Test for clearance and fit before finishing. Removing Wood For Center Band: Use a pencil to mark 1-7/8" from the upper cap bushing on the upper barrel. Use a parting tool to remove the excess wood down to the brass tube. Be careful, you must retain a sharp 90 degree corner at the end of the upper blank when you remove the excess wood. Sand the wood and finish with one of our fine polishes or wax for a brilliant gloss.
Fountain Pen Assembly
Assembly Of Body Barrel Line up and identify finished parts according to Diagram A. Press a coupler into each end of the barrel. Screw in the plastic end cap (either end). Push the ink cartridge, (narrow end first) into the open end of the nib assembly to the end to brake and opening and allow the ink to flow. Screw in assembly into the barrel. TIP: Stroke the pen nib from the small hole to the tip with a damp paper to help start the ink flow. OR when using the refillable cartridge, push the clear end of the cartridge into the opening of the nib assembly until it clicks. Screw the inner shaft counter-clockwise all the way down inside the cartridge. Now, dip the nib into an ink bottle and slowly turn shaft upwards (clockwise) to draw ink in until the reservoir is filled. Screw the nib assembly back into the barrel.	Assembly of the Cap Barrel Press cap nut, recess end first, into the flat end of the barrel. Press the center band, (square end first) over the exposed end of the brass tube to the wood. Use a drop of glue if necessary. Insert the threaded stud on the upper cap into the hole in the clip. Next, thread this assembly tightly into the cap nut.. Operating The Pen The Fountain Pen is ready to operate. A quick 1/4 turn will screw ends together. When using the pen, screw the cap over the body end. Always keep the nib covered when not in use to avoid the ink drying out.
