Preparing the Blank:

• Cut 2 blanks to the length of the tubes and add 1/16” for squaring off.

• Drill 3/8” holes lengthwise through the blanks.

• Spread glue over the tubes, insert into the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside.

• Center the tubes lengthwise inside the blanks.

• When the glue is dry, square the ends of the blanks. Use a 3/8” barrel trimmer, or a universal pen blank squaring jig

with a power disc sander. Take the excess material down ush with the ends of the brass tube. (do not trim beyond

the length of the tube since this may interfere with operation of the mechanism and assembly). Use a barrel trimmer to clean the inside of the tube.

• Hand tighten the quill adjustment to rm up the mandrel. (DO NOT overtighten, it could damage the

mandrel.

• Using sharp tools, turn the blank down close to the bushing diameter. Turn the barrel (straight or to a

prole of your choice)

• Sand the blank down to be ush with the bushings gradually increasing the sandpaper grits.

• Finish the barrel with your choice of polish. Allow sufcient time for the polish to cure.

Refer to polish instructions.

Assembly

• Layout parts according to diagram A

• Press the tip into either end of the longer barrel.

• Press the coupler into the opposite end of the barrel. WARNING: It is not advised to press directly over the threads, instead use a pen blank. Cut a section 3/4”

long. Drill a 8mm hole through. Afx this blank over the threads and press the coupler in.

• Afx the spring over the tip of the rell, drop into the opening at the coupler. Screw the mechanism over.

• Insert the rell guide into the recessed end of the band. Press this assembly into either end of the

(shorter) upper barrel.

• Slide the clip hole over the extension of the cap. Align with gure and pen barrel as necessary. Press this

assembly into the opposite end of the upper barrel.

• Press cap over mechanism to close the gap.

• The pen operates by twisting the ends to advance or retract the rell end.

• To change the rell, twist the upper barrel until it unscrews from the mechanism exposing the rell.
