Pictures of the finished sample 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.

Preparing the Bodies...

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.

Drill an 8mm diameter hole through the centre of the blank. Care must be taken not

to force the drill bit, (this may cause it to 'wander' from the centre line), and

Order No:

remember to back out the drill frequently to clear the debris from the hole. If you are

211322

using a pillar drill the Quick Action Pen Blank Vice is a very useful accessory for this

211323

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

340202

blanks that require drilling.

When the hole is drilled, spread the adhesive randomly over the brass tube and insert

310380

the tube into the blank using a twisting motion to ensure the glue is spread evenly

between the two surfaces. Over insert the tube into the blank by approximately 1mm

702555

giving an allowance for the blank to be trimmed to size and the excess glue to be

700265

removed (See Fig 1).

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

(g)

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

(h)

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

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

(i)

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

Allow the adhesive to dry thoroughly.

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.

Slide a mandrel spacer onto the shaft. Add a bush from the Bushing Kit. Mount a Pen

Body next, add two more bushes (back to back) then the other Pen body, finally the

last bush of the set. Add the mandrel spacer and the locking nut; tighten finger tight.

Mount the assembly onto your lathe. Tighten the lock nut to allow the assembly to

be turned without moving (See Fig 2).

Do not overtighten, this may cause the assembly to distort, the bodies to split, strip

the thread on the lock nut, etc. Similarly 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 main bodies, finish and sand to the guide diameters of the

pen bushings. Remove the finished bodies from the pen mandrel (See Fig 3).

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 (See Fig 4).

In the illustration that follows the upper and lower body of the pen have dissimilar

Debonder

profiles; and the instruction is oriented to this fact. If your body profiles are the same

then the instruction applies to either, ensure however, that the correct parts are

fitted to each body. Line up the Lower Pen Body components as shown in (Fig 5).

Make sure the body and the tip (g) are aligned and gently but firmly, press the

Ballpoint End Tip home. (Force Fit), repeat at the other end with the lower joining

bush (b) (thread out).
