Pictures of samples of the finished articles, in both timber and acrylic, can be found

in our catalogue in the 'Woodturning Projects' Section.

Below is a list of the items required to make the finished items from the purchased

kits (Not including the body blanks). If you do not possess these items we have

offered our catalogue stock code numbers alongside the items as a quick guide.

We have tried to include everything in the list, although we realise that many

woodturners will already have most of them.

Using 19mm (3/4") Square stock; cut the blanks to the length of the brass tubes

adding 2-3mm to allow for trimming. A Pen Blank Sizing and Cutting Jig makes

thisprocess very much easier.

Drill an 15mm diameter hole through the centre of the shorter blank and an 11/32"

hole through the longer one. Care must be taken not to force the drill bit, (this may

cause it to 'wander' from the centre line), and remember to back out the drill

frequently to clear the debris from the hole. If you are using a pillar drill the Quick

Action Pen Blank Vice is a very useful accessory for this task, it ensures that the

blank is held upright and firmly in position. Moreover, if the vice is clamped to the

table of the drill, it will provide accurate repeatability for all the blanks that require

drilling.

When the holes are drilled, spread the adhesive randomly over the brass tubes

and insert the tubes into the blanks using a twisting motion to ensure the glue is

approximately 1mm giving an allowance for the blank to be trimmed to size and

the excess glue to be removed. Using the Barrel Trimmer, trim the ends of the

blanks squarely and neatly to the ends of the brass tubes; this will also remove any

excess glue that may have exuded from the joint. Take care not to undercut the

brass tubes.

Turning the blanks...

Turn both blanks to the desired shape leaving slightly proud at the bushings. Sand

the blanks using progressively finer grits of abrasive until the desired finish is

achieved then apply your chosen finish. If using polyester or acrylic pen blanks we

recommend using Micro-Mesh abrasives used wet.

• Layout the parts as in the diagram below paying attention to any grain alignment

requirements on the blanks.

• Press the end cap into the back end of the longer tube.

• Slide the trim ring as shown below over the unthreaded end of the nib coupler,

then press them into the end of the longer tube.

• Rollerball pen: Insert the spring then the ink refill into the long tube. Fountain

pen: Attach the ink cartridge to the back of the fountain nib.

• Thread the Rollerball or fountain nib into the nib coupler.

• Press the cap/clip into the short tube.

• Press the centre band coupler into the other end of the short tube to complete

the pen.
