Preparing the Blank Cut 3/4'' to 5/8'' square the blank (or use jumbo pen blanks) to the length of the brass tube (add 1/16'' for squaring off). Drill an 3/8” diameter center hole, lengthwise through the blank.	Spread glue over the tube. Insert the tube into the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside. Center the tube lengthwise inside the blank. When the glue dries, square the ends of the blank. Use an 8mm barrel trimmer or a belt / disc sander to trim the wood down flush to the end of the brass tube.
Diagram A / Turning The Blank
Turning the Blank Place the stop bushing onto the mandrel hand tight. Next, place one of the bushings (wide dia. first) on the mandrel. Slide on the blank, then place the other bushing (narrow dia. first) on the mandrel. 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. Using a lathe chisel, turn the blank down flush with the bushings. Finish the blank with gradual higher grits of sand paper and your choice of polish and waxes.
