Diagram A / Parts List
Preparing the Blanks for Turning
  • Cut 3/4" square blanks to the size of the brass tubes (add 1/16" for squaring off).
  • Drill 7mm center hole lengthwise through each blank.
  • Spread glue over the tubes and insert each tube into the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside the blank.
  • Center each tube lengthwise in the blank.
  • When glue dries, square the ends of the blanks. Use a 7mm barrel trimmer (#PKTRIMKIT, 3/4" head). Trim the wood down flush to the brass tubes.

Diagram B / Turning The Blanks

Turning the Blanks

  • Place 7mm spacer bushings onto the mandrel. Place the tip bushing (smaller) on next, follow with the lower blank and then the center bushing. Follow with the upper blank. Place
    the cap bushing (larger) on last. Fill with spacers up to the thread.
  • Thread on the locknut hand tight. Bring the tailstock snug with the mandrel (do not overtighten, it could damage the mandrel). Lock in place. Tighten the locknut to prevent blanks from spinning.
  • Turn the wood down. Create a rounded profile from each end to the center, using lathe chisels and gradual higher, finer grits of abrasives.
  • Finally, sand the blanks flush with the bushings. Finish the barrels with your choice of polish and wax.

Diagram C / Assembly


Assembly

  • Press the tip into the lower barrel.
  • Press the pen mechanism, brass end in first, into the opposite end of the barrel to the indentation line on the mechanism
    (see Diagram C).
  • Insert the refill into the refill guide.
  • Hold the lower assembly of the pen and turn the mechanism counter clockwise to advancethe inside thread upward. Insert the refill assembly and thread inside, using the knurled end. 3/32" brass will show on the outside.
  • Place the band over the exposed mechanism.
  • Press the end cap into the small diameter opening of the upper barrel.
  • Engage both parts of the pen together.
  • The pen operates by twisting the end of the pen to extend or retract the refill tip.
