Kit No. 800382

10ct Americana Pen Kit

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 16mm (5/8") Square stock; cut the blanks to the length of the brass tubes

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

process very much easier.

should be worn

Drill an 8mm diameter hole through the centre of each blank. 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

Order No:

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

340202

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

340203

evenly between the two surfaces. Over insert the tubes into the blanks by

340204

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

excess glue to be removed. (See Fig 1).

Warning. If you are using cyanoacrylate adhesive, exercise extreme caution and

do not allow the adhesive to come into contact with the skin. If this happens

(f)

keep the affected area from contact with any other surface, until the glue has

(g)

hardened or you can treat the area with a softening agent similar to Zap Z-7

Debonder (990099), and you can remove the glue.

(h)

(i)

Allow the adhesive to dry thoroughly.

(j)

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.

Preparing the Bodies...

Turning the Bodies...

Slide an end mandrel spacer bush onto the shaft, add the 10/7.2mm bush from the

bushing set, add the lower 'tubed' blank, next add the 7.2/10/7.2 bush, slide the

sizing ring over the centre section of the bush, add the upper 'tubed' blank and the

7.2/12.6 bush, slide an end mandrel spacer bush up to the assembly and add the

locking nut. Tighten the locking nut to allow the assembly to be turned without

'creeping' . Do not overtighten, this may cause the assembly to distort, the bodies to

split, strip the thread on the lock nut, etc. Mount the complete assembly onto your

lathe (See Fig. 2).

Live tail stock centre

Do not advance the tailstock centre with too much force. The current bulk of the

blanks may be adding strength to the assembly but as the body diameters are

reduced, too much force on the mandrel may cause it to distort/bow. Turn the lower

blank to your desired profile, using the bushes to achieve the required diameters.

Push the 'sizing ring' over the centre part of the bush back against the 'upper' blank

and turn to your desired profile using the bush and the 'sizing ring' to achieve the

required diameters. Finally move the 'sizing ring' out of the way and turn a 3mm

long 'step' on the lower part of the upper body to achieve a tight fit to the 'sizing

ring' . Sand and Finish the bodies. Remove the finished bodies from the pen mandrel

(See Fig 3).

Sizing ring

General Assembly...

Note. The Axminster Pen Assembly Press (200205) is a very useful accessory for

these operations, as it gives greater control over the applied force and keeps

the components in line.
