Diagram A / Parts List & Layout

Preparing the Blanks

  • Cut 3/4" to 5/8" square blank to the length of the brass tube
    (add 1/16" for squaring off)

  • Drill an 8mm center hole lengthwise through the blank
  • Spread glue over the brass tube. Insert 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 of a belt/disc sander to trim the wood down flush to the end of the brass tube.

Diagram B / Turning The Blank

Turning the Blanks

  • Place the stop bushing onto the mandrel hand tight. Next, place the longer cap bushing (wide dia. first) on the mandrel. Slide on the upper blank, then place the center bushing (wide dia. first) on the mandrel. Slide on the lower blank and follow with the shorter bushing.
  • Thread on and hand tighten the lock nut to hold all items in place.
  • Slide the tail stock snug with the mandrel. (do not over tighten, it could damage the mandrel)
  • Slide the stop bushing toward the blank, adjusting to remove spaces. Then tighten the set screw and the lock nut.
  • Using a lathe chisel, turn the blank down flush with the bushings. Finish the blank with gradually finer grits of sand paper.
  • Finish the project with your choice of our fine polishes and waxes.

Removing Wood For Center Band

  • Use a pencil to mark 1-13/16" from the long 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 both blanks and finish with your choice of polish and waxes.

 

Assembly

  • Line up finished parts according to Diagram A

Upper Barrel

  • Insert the cap stud through the hole in the clip.
  • Press the cap stud into the chamfered side of the cap holder, and press it all the way in, creating the cap assembly.
  • Press the cap assembly into the wood covered end of the barrel.
  • Press the center band, square end first, over the bare brass tube flush against the wood.

Lower Barrel

  • Press tip end into either end of the barrel.
  • Press the coupler into the opposite end of the barrel with the threaded end out..
  • Insert the refill and spring into the barrel. Screw the brass end of the twist mechanism into the coupler to the end..

Final Assembly

  • Engage and push the entire twist mechanism into the upper barrel..
  • Pen operates by twisting the two ends to retract or extend the refill.
  • To replace the refill: Pull the ends apart and change the refill. Push back together.
